bleak, excellent serial killer drama

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2000)

Brad Pitt in the performance of his career is excellent as a detective teamed with Morgan Freeman, both men at opposite ends of there lives. This is a chilling and graphic thriller with as much style as substance. The killer, when revealed is very surprising, though you have probably seen it. David Fincher brings gritty realism to the tale of an intelligent maniac basing horrific killings on the seven deadly sins. A smart screenplay and surprising in-sight on humanity and our downward spiral makes for a thoroughly involving and bleak motion picture. You can't find a film like it.
