Ok I have broken my beef with pre 2000 movies. Kinda. The next few will be mid 90s. I had not watched this movie since I was like 12? I honestly did not even remember it enough to even know what happens. AND OH BOY WAS I HAPPY.
This movie fucking rocks. This is an absolute classic. It is top tier EXCELLENT FUCKING FILM right on the border of masterpiece. It is on the fence like mister Feeney looking over the fence at the border. It is that close. I mean, Kevin Spacey was just absolutely in his bag in the 90’s when it came to movies that had wild plots and endings. None better than this one.
Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman play homicide detectives. Kevin Spacey plays a very smart serial killer. First half is a cat and mouse of Pitt and Freeman looking for the killer (spacey) as they realize this are tribalistic murders following the seven deadly sins. The second half is Spacey turning him in but only to keep playing his game.
The movie is just non stop good. And the ending is a 10 out of 10 in thought provoking and if there was a category of HOLY SHIT I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN THERE. Incredibly genius film with excellent writing and perfectly told storyline. Fucking genius. That is a review.
