Se7en

Coin Flip Wins almost exactly half the time
1995 · Crime, Mystery, Thriller · David Fincher

No consensus on Se7en. Across 365 matchups it sits at 51% — exactly where 50% puts you, winning and losing in equal measure. 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.

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

49% to 47% to 67%. The overall record reads as a coin flip, but the 20-point swing between best and worst round says something more specific about where Se7en does its best work.

The extremes tell a clear story — 92% against Gone Girl at one end, 20% against The Prestige at the other.

The path through Nolan vs. Fincher always ends the same way for Se7en: a final against Interstellar, a 67% loss rate. So close and so consistent.

#4 of 9 for David Fincher. Not every film in a filmography can lead — Se7en competes in the middle of a catalog headed by Fight Club (55%).
