David Fincher's Se7en explored a grim and shocking conclusion, but an alternate ending offered a slightly different outcome for its characters. In the theatrical version, Detective Mills kills John Doe in a fit of rage after discovering his wife's tragic murder, thereby fulfilling Doe's twisted plan to embody the seventh sin—wrath. In an alternate draft, Detective Somerset intervenes, stopping Mills from pulling the trigger. Instead, Somerset himself executes John Doe, portraying it as a reluctant act of sacrifice to spare Mills from falling into Doe's trap. While this alternate ending could have altered the story's tone, Fincher ultimately chose the theatrical version for its unflinching depiction of humanity's vulnerability to evil. This final version left a more haunting and lasting impression on audiences.
