Seven | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Jay Carr Boston Globe When Seven, with its velvety world of bottomless evil, taps you on the shoulder, your instinct will be to dive under the theater seat. Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Seven | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael H. Price Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com I wouldn't go so far as to call David Fincher's Seven the most terrifying film ever, but it's right up there on the top shelf with Psycho and The Silence of the Lambs. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Seven | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune The results of the killings are needlessly grotesque and don't really serve the smart screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker and the artful direction of David Fincher. All of this talent is worth seeing if you can look past the gruesome details. Rated: 3/4 Mar 29, 2024 Full Review Seven | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Abigail Stevens Screen Rant Se7en is a grisly murder thriller, with an intriguing discourse surrounding the symbolism of the murders and Freeman and Pitt as a strong lead duo. Rated: 4/5 Oct 8, 2024 Full Review Seven | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast A stone cold classic, especially from a technical point of view. It's incredibly moody, cements a number of tropes for serial killer/crime texts, and (despite the presence of Spacey), John Doe and that finale are iconic. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Seven | Rotten Tomatoes (6) John Scalzi Fresno Bee Seven doesn't take you to hell and back; it takes you to hell and keeps you there, looking around and wondering how it had come to this.

Não podia esperar menos de David Fincher mas a sua capacidade de ousar ainda me surpreende. Os sete crimes abordados nesta trama de suspense são desvendados por uma dupla de detetives da polícia que jamais poderiam imaginar o impacto desses eventos em suas vidas.
