Se7en - 1995 - 7/10
Exceptional Neo-Noir sticks with two detectives tracking a serial killer.
A methodical, painstaking murderer who has planned, apparently, for years.
Seven refers to the seven deadly sins, and each killing is a stylized tableau.
The experienced Somerset has seen too much depravity in the city and is ready to retire.
The impetuous Mills is a small town transfer, cocksure and aggressive.
Drenched city landscape contrasts with the serenity of the library, comfort of Mills’s apartment,
Grim exploration, nonetheless, of the darker jungle abiding amidst our ordered world.
