Dad's Preview:
I have always loved films and books about mass murderers: Ted
Bundy, The Boston Strangler. Devil in the White City. Sick,
huh? I'm intrigued by the killer's motives and the
detective's research to apprehend the criminal. This plot, which
revolves abound the seven deadly sins, is the perfect, creepy set
up. Gluttony? Force feed the victim to death. You get the
picture. Brad Pitt does
pretty decent job in his role, but Freeman and Spacey carry the
film. The ending, as you might anticipate, is quite harrowing.
