    I guess the idea itself is potentially cliche but it was very cleverly executed

    But Pitt isn't killed, he's just taken into a squad car. Spacey is killed for the sin of envy, but that's manufactured and retroactively justified, because it's not like he wasn't going to kill Paltrow anyway. Plus, Pitt becomes wrath but his method of killing Spacey is a dispassionate unloading of his gun into him.. and then nothing happens to Pitt. The better way for the movie to end would have been for Pitt to violently, savagely and brutally kill Spacey, and then shoot himself to complete the circle.

    Seven absolutely sucked, I barely got through it. There was nothing original or clever and the acting was atrocious. Usual Suspects is awesome, great script, dialogue I have watched it 10 times. Love it.

    Spacey Killed Paltrow Out of Envy...Spacey BEING Killed was Pitt's Wrath...It All Adds Up...

    REED's Never Seen Usual Suspects, but the Guys Bashing Se7en R Clearly TROLLING...REED just Watched it the Other Day & it STILL holds Up...Pitt's Performance WASN'T as Bad as Being Advertised Either...

    I have to say.....I agree with this.

    That would have made it even better.

    Saying Se7en is overrated is one thing. But calling it a trash movie? Just an attention seeking post.

    U Make it Seem as if Pitt had ANY Time to Think or Calculate his Next Move...If Morgan Freeman's Character was in Complete & Utter DISBELIEF, How Do U Think Pitt Felt???...

    Sure, if U Give a Guy 30 Minutes, an Hour or a Day to Place it All Into Perspective, Pitt Would've Off'ed Spacey as Sloooowly and Painfully as Possible...But in the Spur of the Moment, U Seek IMMEDIATE Retribution, which is Exactly what Pitt Did....

    Also, REED Isn't sure How U Can Label Pitt's Response as 'Dispassionate"???...He's SCREAMING, "What's in the Box" Repeatedly, SCREAMING "Noooooo" w/Tears in his Eyes, PAIN on his Face...Hell, Dude Even Doubles Over a Time or 2 from the Sheer AGONY of the Moment...

    U Speak as if he was EmotionLESS, which Clearly Pitt WASN'T...

    come on guys...this was dumb

    it's like the writers got to the end and couldn't think of another way to end it....for every sin the killing was well planned and the victim was committing the sin...then at end the the killer couldn't think of anything better other than saying "oh, by the way, I envy and killed your wife" ?? :bs:

    DURING the Flick, Spacey Said Something to the Effect of "They'll Be Talking about My Work for Years"...He Also Said Something to Pitt about "Making You Famous"....

    Spacey Went to Pitt's House, AFTER he was Gone, KILLED his Wife, INTENTIONALLY TURNED HIMSELF IN, Led Pitt & Freeman to EXACTLY WHERE he Wanted them to Be & Basically FORCED Pitt Into KILLING him...

    How the Hell was this NOT a "Well Planned" Sin or Act???...Spacey MASTERMINDED the Entire Thing...

    not even close, not seeing The Godfather is a worse sin than shitty ass Star Trek or STar Wars or w/e. I've never seen any SW movies either and don't plan to.

    You guys can't talk about films if you haven't watch the original Star Wars trilogy. The first and the second, The Empire Strikes Back, always make the top 50 in the lists of All Time Greatest films ever made.
