In "Seven", a grossly fat man is found murdered. Somerset catches on early
that a serial killer is at work basing his grisly crimes on Milton's list of
the seven deadly sins.
The clinical way the movie shows the murder scenes makes them all the more
horrible.
'Seven's suspense is relentless. The cinematography is great and Kevin
Spacey is the scariest psychopath since Hannibel Lechter.
