Se7en

Se7en belongs in your night if you want crime, investigation, or morally messy choices to drive the night. It is a fairly steady watch with good forward movement, with a fuller 127-minute runtime, and the Watch Profile puts attention at 7/10 and emotional impact at 4/10. The signals are strong enough to make this one of the easier calls in the queue.
