b"For the next two weeks, we're diving head-first into the Thriller genre, with two films from one of the recognized masters of the type, David Fincher! First up, it's a story of serial killing and sin in a very specific way, as a killer finds people guilty of committing the seven deadly sins: Pride, Envy, Sloth, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, and Greed. Veteran police investigator, Detective Somerset (Morgan Freeman) is just one week away from retirement, and he is assigned a new partner for that last week, a hotshot young investigator from out-of-town, Detective Mills (Brad Pitt). They discover the obese body of a man who was literally forced to eat until he died. This begins a sequence of events that reveals the theme of this particular serial killer's mission, as well as revealing several other bodies that represent other deadly sins. The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey, R. Lee Ermey, and the late Richard Roundtree in a tense story that incorporates enough horror tropes to render it a chilling thriller that's still being talked about almost 30 years later!"
