calzephyrNot to sound like a broken record, but there's a whole swath of 90s movies missing from my personal catalogue because I was either too young or too broke to watch them. It's hard to spend $8 on a movie when you're only making $7.28 an hour part time!
I didn't know much about Se7en before I watched it on Tubi this afternoon except that it starred Brad Pitt and was about a serial killer working through the seven deadly sins. I didn't even know it starred Kevin Spacey or Morgan Freeman! Sometimes the less you know about something the more wonderful the surprise is.
Freeman and Pitt play a pair of mismatched detectives in this, suspenseful, neo-noir thriller. I really enjoyed the orchestral soundtrack and colour grading as well as the pacing. I find too many movies these days are a blur as they hop from scene to scene, so the story's slow unfolding was very enjoyable as well.
Now, this is a very squishy and dark movie and I feel it dances slightly into horror territory. It's such a visual feast though with the constant rain, grittiness and practical effects. Definitely one I would watch again since it contained so much detail.
