Seven Deadly Sins

I was able to examine a thriller the other day called Seven a film made in 1995. The story follows retiring detective (Morgan Freeman) and his replacement (Brad Pitt ), jointly investigating a series of ritualistic murders inspired by the seven deadly sins. The serial killer (Kevin Spacey), the person who has commited these murders in intelligent as it is seen in the opening of the film that he removes his skin so that no one can match his finger prints. From the opening of the film alot of close ups and extreme close ups and use low key lighting to help show that it is a dark film noir film. In terms of money the film was success as it grossed $13.9 million on its opening weekend and went on to gross $327.3 million world wide. The film also was nominated for a BAFTA for best orginal screen play.
