A truly brilliant film, in its own dark and twisted way.

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2000)

This is a film that stays with you long after the credits have finished. It is incredibly dark and twisted. It provides an intriguing passage into the human mind and human behavior. Fincher's direction is good. He chooses dark, wet, and dim locations to spin this grotesque tale of death. The story is good in that it tells it like it is, this is no fairy tale. The performances are, for the most part, pretty good. The best performance is given by Kevin Spacey. Morgan Freeman is terrific as always. Brad Pitt is good but he could be better. This film has the greatest climax I have seen form any motion picture, it is incredibly intense. If you haven't seen this then you simply must, but it is not for the faint hearted.
