The evil into our brains

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2005)

***Spoiler warning***
If we go all the way to the end we finally get an idea of what happens with humans. We all are bad, we all have a little evil into our brains or behind our ear that says constantly: Kill that guy, you got to kill it, kill it!!! David Fincher learned a lesson after direct (and almost terminated) the third movie of the Alien franchise, so he waited to have a good finished screenplay to work with. His next job is now one of the best 50 movies of all time (if Saw doesn't take the place sooner or later). The idea of the screenplay is simple, not very twisted (with the plot) but enough interesting at visual level to make it dark, moving, brainy and scary. Using the seven sins as a way to kill (and exorcise our fears) is as intelligent as use internet to write a review on IMDb (but not so scary :P) Bradd Pitt is eaten (at performance level) by the great Morgan Freeman (he deserved an Oscar for this movie too) because his William Somerset is more human and deep and near than the detective David Mills (a little bit mean and angry, as you can see at the end). The end of the movie? Pure evil, pure madness and pure sadness, is absolutely a huge exercise of horror film condensed in two things. That cardboard box and the evil murderer, whose name is not been reported in this review.
