Se7en

Number seven is one of the symbolicly strong numbers. It's 7 week days, 7 agains Thebes,7 wise masters, in ancient Egypt 7 was a God's number, 7 days of creation, part of Christian ethics clasification of vices- the 7 deadly sins, this is what our story is about. 

Detective Somerset ( Morgan Freeman) and detective Mills ( Brad Pitt) are investigating a very complicated crime case. The killer knows exactly what he is up to -he is playing a game with police. The first victim was a man who murdered in his home while he was eating, the killer left a note  after himsel with the word "glutton". After a while detectives found the second dead body, it was a man on the flour at his office, next to it the killer left the second message written in blood -"greed". All crimes were made according to the Catholic moral thoughts, The seven deadly sins. The meaning of the word "glutton" is excessive disire for food,"greed"- desire for material things. But police must find the killer before he made his justice, there are still five sins missing: sloth (physical laziness), envy, wrath (uncontrole feelings, anger, violence), pride (self admiration) and lust (intense desire for sex). 

The most unexpeting thing is when the killer ( Kevin Spacey) exposed himself, he accepted all accusations, but it didn't  mean that he gave up, he wanted to make a great finally. In my opinion, it was the most difficul episode because the main character Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt became on second part and Kevin Spacey took the lead till the end.

There are lot of high tense moments, that makes you feel part of the investigation, all the time so many questions comes out of your mind. The end is the best part, when it is hard to predict wether good or bad side are gonna to win.

Some more cast that i haven't mentioned and deserve to be named: Gwyneth Paltrow, John Cassini, Endre Hules, John C. mcGinley.

If somebody likes crime and detective movies they will definitely enjoy this one!
