35 - "Se7en" (1995)

     Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is a worn veteran who is one week from retirement. Detective Mills (Brad Pitt) is the young, hotshot detective primed to take his place. They are completely different and are put on a case together where an obese man has been forced to eat himself to death. Mills believes it's just a sick act by a weirdo, but Somerset senses something else is working here. When another case turns up about a lawyer who has been forced to cut a pound of flesh from his body and the word Greed is written nearby, Somerset goes back to the original crime scene and after looking around, he finds the word Gluttony written at the crime scene. Somerset knows that these two crimes are just a beginning of a series by a serial killer who is killing by the seven deadly sins. He feels the guy is "preaching" to the world. Somerset wants no part of a case like this since his retirement is so close. Mills is all over it, believing it's just a deranged cuckoo. This sets the story for Se7en, one of the darkest and creepiest films in a generation. It also happens to be one of the best. Director David Fincher sets a tone with a set that is almost always dark and rainy. The movie plays like film noir quite a bit. Freeman and Pitt give amazing performances, with Pitt's being perhaps the best of his career. As each murder is uncovered, the tension ratchets up and the ending of Se7en will be talked about for many, many years.
