Fez — The city is dark, rainy, dirty, and full of crime. Detective William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is near retirement. He is paired with David Mills (Brad Pitt), a young, brash detective new to the city.
They investigate a murder scene where the word “gluttony” is written. From there the case grows: each murder reflects a sin, like greed, sloth, lust, envy, pride, and wrath.
The killer, John Doe (Kevin Spacey), chooses victims whom he believes represent each of the seven deadly sins.
As the detectives get closer, their work becomes more personal. Mills’s wife Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow) appears in the story, adding emotional tension.
The film uses visuals, weather, and sound to amplify the mood. Rain and darkness saturate the scenes. Interiors are often low lit.
Dialogue is tense and weighed with moral questions.
Somerset is philosophical; Mills is impulsive. The contrast drives the drama.
The film is less about solving puzzles and more about exploring evil and cruelty in a world that seems indifferent.
Near the end, John Doe turns himself in after the final murders for two sins: envy and wrath. He reveals he envied Mills’s life, then forces Mills into a final choice. The ending is brutal: Mills must decide how to respond. Somerset, who predicted this might be his last case, watches as justice turns into a personal and tragic vendetta.
Dress in Se7en is everyday—clean but not glamorous. The detectives wear suits or trench coats. The killer appears normal until his acts reveal horror.
Directed by David Fincher, Se7en runs for about 127 minutes. It stars Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey.
The movie is intense, not easy to watch. And it has been praised for its direction, atmosphere, acting, and the way it pulls the viewer into uncomfortable moral territory. Its ending is unforgettable and leaves a lasting impression.
