A detective is right at the brink of retirement, taking on his final case; one that has haunted him for years. His partner, a new recruit, is eager to make his mark, still hopeful about the future and his role in justice. This dynamic has been replicated to the point of cliché, but it began with David Fincher’s haunting 1995 thriller Se7en. Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman play David Mills and William Somerset, respectively, two detectives investigating a serial killer who murders his victims according to the seven deadly sins. Both are consumed by the case in different ways, and the investigation takes over their lives, up until the reveal of a special gift inside a box.
