Seven - god damn man, this was absolutely brilliant. 10/10, as much as I want to give it 7.
Extremely clever, from the killer's plot and its credible religious overtones, through the contrast between Brad Pitt's pop culture references and Morgan Freeman's command of literature (the script knows what it's talking about) and the clever connections between the murders (Greed was Sloth's lawyer) to the way the rainy cinematography, the brutality of the murders, and the desperate, yearning characters (especially Gwyneth's fantastic "I don't want to bring a child into this world" scene) combine to create the unnamed City as a nexus of sin and despair, where apathy is as murderous as wrath: the pit of Hell itself.
I hated the ending...man did that to a women you loved...you wouldn't just give him a quick and easy death, you'd make suffer. But yes otherwise a cracking film.
