Alur Cerita

In a city plagued by corruption and decay, two detectives, William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and David Mills (Brad Pitt), team up to track down a serial killer who is using the seven deadly sins as a twisted motif for his murders. The killer, known only as John Doe (Kevin Spacey), is a calculating and ruthless individual who is determined to demonstrate the true nature of humanity's darker impulses. As Somerset, a veteran detective in the twilight of his career, and Mills, a young and ambitious rookie, delve deeper into the case, they uncover a trail of gruesome murders that seem to be inspired by the seven deadly sins: gluttony, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and wrath. With each new discovery, the detectives are forced to confront their own personal demons and the darker aspects of human nature. As the body count rises, Somerset's world begins to unravel as he is confronted with the harsh reality of a society that has lost its moral compass. Meanwhile, Mills's obsession with the case leads him down a dark path of violence and despair, threatening to destroy his relationship with his wife, Tracy (Gwyneth Paltrow). Throughout the film, director David Fincher masterfully crafts a sense of tension and unease, using long takes, dim lighting, and a haunting score to create an atmosphere of foreboding. The performances by the cast are equally impressive, with Spacey delivering a chilling portrayal of the enigmatic John Doe. As the investigation reaches its climax, Somerset and Mills must confront their own mortality and the true nature of evil in order to bring the killer to justice. In the end, Se7en is a powerful exploration of humanity's darkest impulses, and the devastating consequences that can result when we allow our base instincts to consume us.
