I have no clue how I've lived as long as I have without either watching or getting spoilers for this film, and thank God for the latter because h-o-l-y s-h-i-t. I've always been fascinated by the idea of homicidal ideation combined with divine intuition, and I've written multiple short stories and short film screenwrites with a similar general theme, not that anything (at least in my opinion) will come close to amounting to Fincher's cinematic prose with this film or honestly any of his thrillers. The concept of a supposed vigilante who is just as hypocritical as the so called "sinners" he is prosecuting is such a simplistic archetype that can be peeled back and psychoanalyzed through a multitude of layers. I mean it sounds like I'm just repeating the same thing over and over again but that is a good portion of the beauty of this film. The closer with the quote from Hemingway is killer, and not a stylistic choice I see NEARLY enough. Astounding work per usual, and a storyline that you don't have to think too hard about, especially if you're as tired as I am writing this lmao.
