What’s in the boxxxx??? Wow. Sometimes when I watch older movies, the scares/thrills or tension doesn’t hit the same for me as it probably did the when the generation that watched it for the first time in theaters watched it. But this movie, had me on the edge of my seat and my heart beating fast! I loved how we got straight into the murders rather than building up to this big murder. Visually stunning and disgusting at the same time. I love how we instantly got to know how Mills and Somerset were complete opposites. One trying to become a big time detective “young buck” and the “old timer” was trying to leave. The villain John Doe was terrifying and the crimes were that much more. The twists that came or learning new evidence felt like we were apart of the investigation. Compared to Zodiac we were kinda spectating to see where the story would finish(both to the strength of each film). Oh and don’t even get me started when they were all gearing up for that police raid. On of the coolest montages I’ve seen. Acting| +A, Cinematography| +A, Story| +A. If you can beat through the disturbing imagery of the brutal crime scenes I think you’ll love this film. As I was walking out of the theater(I watched it as it came back to theaters last night) one the of the gentleman told me they don’t make em like that anymore. I found myself saying the same thing in my head.
