Se7en

This was an enjoyable film overal, with a well-structured plot and good cinematography . That said, I don’t believe it deserves the “glazing” it often receives. While the characters feel  like they are written well written on the surface, they do feel somewhat underdeveloped and lacking that depth i was looking for.  I also thought that the narrative was fairly predictable, despite its reputation for having, for example: “One of the best plot twists in cinematic history” -a claim I strong disagree with. From early on, significant attention is given to Tracy Mills, making it clear she would play a pivotal role in the story. From what we see, David’s and Tracy’ s relationship seems close to perfect. So the most likely scenario is for one of them to die, which happens a lot in movies and series. (Just let them live their lives for once:( ) so the ending felt more formulaic, rather than shocking. Additionally, the package, perfect to store one human head… it was so obvious... As a result, the so-called plot twists felt less like a genuine surprise and more like a conformation of what the film had already heavily implied. In conclusion, se7en is a nice, solid movie to watch, but its reputation is often overstated. It is worth watching, though it may not live up to the expectations, caused by the excessive acclaim surrounding around it.
