The Kernel take
A 65 Metascore on a $33M budget that's grossed over $327M worldwide suggests critics were more measured than audiences; this is a rare case where the box office decisively outpaced critical consensus.
Director track record: David Fincher
Se7en trails David Fincher's own 72.7-point average across 11 scored films, falling short of The Social Network's 95 — a notable dip for a director whose work typically clusters in the high 70s.
Lead track record: Morgan Freeman
Morgan Freeman's 65 here sits well above his own 59-point average across 25 scored films, though it falls short of Unforgiven's 85 — a solid middle ground in a career that's seen considerable range.
