The 1995 movie Ben Affleck crowned as “the greatest masterpiece”

Ben Affleck has praised David Fincher’s 1995 thriller *Se7en* as an underrated masterpiece and one of cinema’s best-constructed films. His comments underline the film’s lasting reputation and its influence on an actor who later became a director himself.

Affleck said the film is sometimes left off lists of great movies because it centres on a serial killer, despite calling it iconic and describing Fincher as among the best directors ever. The article argues that *Se7en*’s impact comes partly from rejecting the expected happy or neatly resolved ending, leaving viewers unsettled by its final scenes.
