Have you seen Alien 3? It is identical to Se7en in its brooding, heavy, depressing atmosphere. It's pregnant with dread throughout and what I really love about the film is not so much the murders -- although they are well executed and truly grotesque (just seeing the "Lust" murder tool makes me cringe) -- but the interaction between the detectives that fleshed out their personal views about the case, understanding the killer's motivations, and where they're each coming from in terms of their own perspectives about living in general, all the while they're moving through the film and trying to put the pieces together.

Of Fincher's films, this is one of the best.

Morgan Freeman turns this film from a very good movie to a great one. Its his understated performance, especially when played against Brad Pitt's energetic one, which i really like.

I assume most people know that Kevin Spacey's name wasn't on the opening credits so they wouldn't give away the identity of the killer?

Not really in a horror movie in that it was more of a murder suspense. I'll go even with thriller, but not horror.

This movie was really good though. Morgan Freeman does good work. Kiss the Girls, Along Came a Spider (prequal to Kiss the Girls) etc...

It was a good movie. Better than I was expecting. I loved the ending. :-) I'm a hardened gorehound but the sloth dude made me wince a bit. That would so suck. :-p

The more I hear about this movie, the more I need to rent it. :) Is there an extra gory unrated version?

Dont think so. I only know of the platinum series (2 disc set) which was the latest released in I believe 2000. The first release was in '97.
