What's in the box!?

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2016)

This is very engaging and super atmospheric film that will grab your attention from beginning to end. It's a classic detective/crime/mystery/thriller that was movie everyone was going to Blockbuster to rent out when it first came out on video. It's also David Fincher's breakout film that really made him stand out as a director. The cinematography, the visuals and the eerie atmospheric environment plays a key role when showing the plot unfold. Mainly because the grisly and nasty environment that gives off the aroma of sweat and decay really plays a key part in the story. It's one of the key elements that makes this film stand out. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman makes a excellent duo that actually compliment each other, not really verbally but it works throughout this film. One is the brash and hot blooded detective with the mouth, David Mills (Brad Pitt) and the other is a wise and yet ignorant detective Somerset Played by Morgan Freeman. Brad Pitt was on his rising to super stardom stage and his role in this really helped him with the boost. The plot is about the duo detective going after and track down the serial killer that is on a pattern when it comes to the 7 deadly sins. This film is simply intriguing from start to finish, especially when this movie came out. Cause there wasn't a film like this before, as far as I know. And many films to come will copy or emulate certain elements from this film. Even video games like "Silent Hill" was probably inspired by this film, especially when it comes to the environment. This is a raw film that is detailed and focused. Just about every scene has a point and has connections when it comes to the core of the story one way or another. The way it delves into the psychological aspects and perspectives is Watching this film is like watching a great detective graphic novel come to life on screen with superb execution. Add a stand out ending and you have yourself a detective film that is a masterpiece.
9/10
