After Hitchcock's Psycho and Silence Of The Lambs, this is a true classic of the serial-killer thriller genre. Acting is very good (especially Morgan Freeman), but the directing is truly outstanding, and so is the writing. Honestly, almost every film and tv show nowadays attempt to copy Se7en, unsuccessfully. The dark atmosphere, tension, action, character development - it's all there, in the correct proportion. I just rewatched it, 25 years after it's been shot - even with knowledge of the plot and all the twists, much better than most films of the same genre presently.
