Se7en

Strong Contender Wins well above average
1995 · Crime, Mystery, Thriller · David Fincher

56% across 180 head-to-head matchups puts Se7en comfortably above average — not untouchable, but better than the vast majority of films it faces. Fincher's bleakest film is also his most structurally perfect, and that final act brands itself into memory permanently. Voters don't forget it, which means they can't dismiss it. Among David Fincher's films on BingeBracket, nothing beats it.

Synopsis

Two homicide detectives are on a desperate hunt for a serial killer whose crimes are based on the "seven deadly sins" in this dark and haunting film that takes viewers from the tortured remains of one victim to the next. The seasoned Det. Somerset researches each sin in an effort to get inside the killer's mind, while his novice partner, Mills, scoffs at his efforts to unravel the case.

Where it thrives

The 21-point spread between best and worst round is notable, but the floor is high enough that it barely matters. Se7en competes from a position of strength at every stage.

Inception is the nearest thing to a true rival at 53%. The margin is slim and the outcome still feels unsettled. The extremes tell a clear story — 86% against Gone Girl at one end, 25% against The Prestige at the other.
