Seven (sometimes written Se7en) is a movie that lingers in the depths of your brain. It is my favorite Morgan Freeman film with him as a world-weary but almost a regretfully brilliant detective, and another example of the dexterity that Brad Pitt can bring to a part. The murders are at once grotesque and fascinating, the puzzle bewildering and inspired. The inspiration is the product of sheer evil which allows the villain to exist in a nightmare world of his own fashioning, a hell of his own making as if not only to punish himself but all of mankind for the pain he feels and the feels the need to inflict. Seven seeps into you like its nigh omnipresent rain which doesn't wash you clean but merely cover you in grime.
