utterly dramatic!

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2002)

I saw this movie about 4 years ago and I can still remember it quite well. I must stress that this is not a horror movie; it's completely dramatic. Brad Pitt was great in portraying the leading character in this film; he and Morgan Freeman made it worthwhile. Morgan Freeman has showed everybody his outstanding acting skills; he seems not to be such an arrogant and bad person. He really enveloped himself into the role very well.
The plot is original and unexpected; I have to warn you ahead of time that there are some possible spoilers; it's not neither a happy nor a horror movie. Some parts of this interesting movie are quite disturbing. I shall probably never forget when the fat man died at the beginning; it was horrible to see that person dying because of gluttony. It was incredible and disturbing. It certainly made me think a lot. On the other hand it was completely impressive when the person who died of laziness seemed to be alive; he looked terrible. As for the murderer Juan Pérez (Kevin Spacey), he was great in portraying the killer. It's a movie that will make you think a lot about life and death. The outcome was incredible, I never thought Juan Perez had cut Brad Pitt's wife head off, and then Brad had killed him. It shows us that he killed him because of the wrath he felt. Overall, this is a dramatic and disturbing movie. I recommend it to everybody who likes very dramatic movies. 8/10
