Se7en (1995)

Se7en is not a movie for the faint of heart. It's not the most disturbing movie ever, far from it, but it contains a bit more than it's share of chilling murder scenes. There are two homicide detectives working together in a high crime city. Brad Pitt plays a younger, headstrong, reckless detective. Morgan Freeman plays an older, jaded, tired detective who's seen to much and is retiring in seven days. Both actors do a good job, but Freeman's performance is blatantly superior, as he uses his considerable acting heft to lend belief to his character. Both are helped along by the few supporting characters and overall the incredibly cliched characters manage to become believable.
