The new partners don't get off to a good start - each rubbing
the other the wrong way - and they go down separate paths
of investigation. The intellectual Freeman spots links between
the murders, while Pitt is scientifically piecing together
the case.
Freeman discovers that the murderer is leading them through
a series of deaths, and clues, based upon the Seven Deadly
Sins of Gluttony, Sloth, Greed, Pride, Envy, Lust, Wrath.
From the start, we have to say Seven is worthy of
the R18+ classification it has, as it is more than a little
gruesome in parts - and others are downright shocking. We
won't mention the dessicated victim of sloth.
But, eye-averting as it can sometimes be, Seven is
an engrossing tale that will have enough chills and thrills
for action fans, and huge helpings of brain-stretching story
for thinkers.
Freeman is just terrific as the mind-weary Somerset, Pitt
is great as the young gun copper, while Gwyneth Paltrow pops
in to add a bit of softness to an otherwise hard-edged film.
We won't say who the special guest killer is, although you
should be able to pick his voice early on.
The transfer for this deluxe edition is almost perfect with
crispness, clarity, excellent colour registration and level
of detail. Problems are almost non-existent and you can tell
that a great deal of care has been taken during the remastered
presentation.
The sound is excellent with speech, even mutters, coming
in nice and clearly.
All up, this is a very good DVD and will fit nicely into
any movie-lover's collection.
Conclusion: Movie 85%, Extras 70%
