    Se7en (1995) Review: Seven Sins, Endless Rain

    Se7en is David Fincher's rain-soaked serial-killer thriller, a bleak, meticulous procedural in which Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt hunt a murderer obsessed with sin.

    Yes. It is one of the great crime thrillers of the 1990s, for adults who can take a genuinely dark, disturbing film and want atmosphere as much as mystery.
