Seeing Brad Pitt as Detective David Mills and Morgan Freeman as Detective Lt. William Somerset was what drew me to this flick.And wonderful they were as a team just put together as a string of murders begin.However this is a very dark and nasty film.One I truly did not enjoy.It is well made and acted but it highlights what a dark and bad place this world has become.So i had to take 2 stars off for being so brutally nasty.Released in 1995 and running 127 minutes I wanted to go trough the screen to rip the heart out of Kevin Spacey who plays John Doe,the killer we don't see till very late in the movie.Mr Spacey again shows he is one of the great actors today.How he states his agenda is as if the devil himself is speaking.See this film once if you can stomach pure evil.Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary below.Even as you stomach twists and turns you must see the ending for the truly evil full effect of this film.
A film about two homicide detectives' desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world's ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic "John Doe" sermonizes to Detectives Sommerset and Mills -- one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer's terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured Sommerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer's modus operandi while green Detective Mills scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer...
