Why watch this? This is one intense, gory, emotional crime film.

Plot Summary: The film follows a retiring detective, William Somerset, and his newly transferred partner, David Mills, as they investigate a series of brutal murders. They discover the killer's motives are rooted in the seven deadly sins, with each victim representing one of the vices. As the detectives delve deeper into the twisted mind of the killer, the investigation takes an increasingly dark and disturbing turn.

Dad's Preview: I have always loved films and books about mass murderers. Sick, huh?. Still, I'm interested in the killer's motives and the detective's research to apprehend the criminal. This film, centered on the seven deadly sins, is the perfect, creepy set up. Brad Pitt does pretty decent job in his role, but Freeman and Spacey carry the film. The ending, as you might guess, is quite harrowing.
