A Very Good Thriller!

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2006)

This very good film is about Detective David Mills, a new detective, and and his partner, Detective Lt. William Somerset, who is about to retire, working on a case of a serial killer using the seven deadly sins for his motive.
The first person to die is a person with the sin, gluttony. The aftermath of the "kill" is very disturbing. That's basically the word that would describe all the other kills in this film. This film is a very good thriller. In fact, it's one of the best films ever.
Both Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman gives great performances, including Gwyneth Paltrow and Kevin Spacey, played by the killer, although he shows up almost through the last half of the film.
Just like Saw, the killer wants to punish those who are bad. For once, we have a killer we agree to, or at least I do. Like many thrillers, this film has this great ending. This is a smart thriller. There's not a lot of action. It's just your usual detective story.
If you like a very smart thriller that will make you think, without making you look stupid, with great performances, this movie will do.
