Events / Plots:

Miller has just come to his new office, when his partner Somerset and he

are called to an unusual case. A lawyer who was well known for his

excessive lifestyle, was killed in an unusual way. He was forced to eat

so much that a little kick of the killer let explode his stomach. It was

very cruel to look at , but the killer couldn't be normal because he

wrote with blood the word "Excessiveness" on the wall behind the corpse.

One the two next days, two other mysterious cases of a murder happened,

and the words "Acquisitive" and "Lethargy" were written on a wall.

Miller tries to find out a connection between the three murder cases. He

has the suspicion that the murder killed the people because they

committed one of the seven deadly sins.

He has a very cruel theory: four sins are left and so the murder could

kill people because of "Rage", " Arrogance ", " Sensuality " and "

Jealousy".

After having realised this fact he tries to find the murderer, but he

couldn't find him and so two other people has to die . After the fifth

murder the killer comes to Miller and confessed that he is the murder.

The murderer also mentioned that there are two more deadly sins and so

Miller and his partner  has to do what he says. Miller and Somerset were

sent to a place outside the town when a post-officer comes and gives

Miller a package. Somerset takes the package and opens it slowly. He

finds the head of Tracy Miller. Miller himself get jealous and kills the

murder. After this the last deadly sin was committed. ( Jealousy ).

Ideas: The author wants to show us that there are a lot of dangerous

psychopaths who sometimes kill because of unreasonable hate.

Opinions:  I borrowed the film from a friend who has recommended it. I

liked the film, not because of the cruel scenes, but because of the

background story.
