'Seven' Goes Beyond Crime to Focus on Society's Sins

Next up in our miniseries on crime films is David Fincher’s Seven, the 1995 psychological thriller with messages on morality that still ring true today. Though the big reveal of [REDACTED] doesn’t hold up for obvious reasons, the rest of the movie feels surprisingly timeless and Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman remain a wonderfully complementary duo.

But this is a crime series; does the film have something to say on misdeeds and the people who fight them? Yes, but perhaps not in the way you remember or expect. Join us as we dissect the classic that put Fincher on the cinematic map.
