Se7en 5o1s27 1995 - ★★★★★ (contains spoilers)

Fri, 28 Feb 2025 06:55:06 +1300

This review may contain spoilers.

Se7en is not just a crime thriller. It is a brutal dissection of human nature, a slow and methodical erosion of hope. It does not ask whether evil can be stopped, it asks whether there was ever a chance that it wouldn’t win.

At the beginning Mills still believes in justice, in morality, in the idea that the world has order and that crimes like these are acts of madness. Somerset, on the other hand, has seen enough. He does not share Mills outrage because he no longer sees these horrors as exceptions. He knows they are inseparable part of the world.

And then there is John Doe, he doesn’t simply kill - he reveals. His murders are not just executions, they are messages, each one exposing something about human nature. Gluttony, greed, sloth - these are not random sins. They are tolerated, accepted, even rewarded by the world. He sees himself as the hand of something far greater, forcing people to witness the truth they try to ignore.

The most devastating revelation is reserved for the end. Mills, the man who believed in justice, is broken, torn apart not by what John Doe did, but by what he forced him to become. – The moment Mills pulls the trigger, he is no longer the man he was. He is no longer different from the world he despised. In that moment, the light dies.

There is no victory in Se7en. There is no redemption, no moment where justice triumphs. Because justice does not exist in a world like this. The final scene is not about John Doe winning. It is about proving that he never had to fight at all. The darkness always been there, and always will be there – after Mills pulled the trigger there is no one left to deny it.
