  • He's experienced about as much pain and suffering as anyone I've encountered, give or take, and he still has Hell to look forward to. "Warning: Spoilers" Seven is directed by David Fincher and written by Andrew Kevin Walker. It stars Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ke…

  • Se7en put David Fincher on the map with this uber-creepy mystery thriller. The crime scenes are so grisly Seven is often ranked with top horror movies. And the ending -- hoo boy. One of the best twists in modern movie history.

  • Movie is ok. Some good trivia. Pitt had a contract for the movie to not change the ending when he read the script. He remembered this happening to his past movie. In the end, it did came to pass. People were making comments to change it. "T'was too grim" they said. Folks said t'w…
