What's in the box?
Presentation:
Nail biter thriller detective crime film from acclaimed David Fincher. His style is still specific, but less prominent in this film. Very similar to his other Zodiac serial killer movie. The film is dark, grungy, desaturated and very clean making it very relevant even though it was made in the 90s. Very impressive and has influenced countless other thrillers setting the bar for decades.
Conclusion:
It was hard to say whether to put Fight Club, Zodiac or Se7en as Fincher's best film, but I ultimately decided Se7en is too similar to Zodiac to take the 5 chilis. This film is still fantastically written and paced with a very iconic ending that leaves you wanting to watch more from the masterful director.
