Shows how good an actor Brad Pitt is

Rating: Null/10 (20 April 2001)

I personally think that Brad Pitt is under-rated as an actor. He is considered a pretty boy in Hollywood. But if you took a moment and went over all of his films, he never really has done, accept several, pretty boy movies. He is personally one of my favorite actors.
If you don't believe me I think you should sit down and watch several of his films, especially this one. I could never picture Freddie Prinze Jr. or anybody else ever daring to take on this kind of role. That is why I refuse to sit down and watch those sort of films. I do not like to waste my money.
The plot is very basic. Morgan Freeman is a week from retirement. Brad Pitt is the new guy in town. They both team up to catch a serial killer who kills people by the seven deadly sins.
You can always count on Morgan Freeman to be brilliant. I have yet to see him in a project he looks bad in. But I must say, since this film he seems to be only taking the smart-detective role, accept for "Nurse Betty".
Brad Pitt is wonderful in his role. He portrays a man who is dedicated to both his family and his work. Though he isn't anywhere near as smart as Somerset, he certainly trys. In a funny scene, Somerset travels to the library to read up on the sins. Mills mearly settles for the cliff notes of the sins.
A must see for all fans of the film is the newly released DVD. It is filled with tons of extras and some great deleted scenes that could have been kept in the film.
Overall it is a masterful film and an ending that needs to be seen to be believed. I very highly recommend the film. 9.5/10
