“What’s in the box?
What’s in the box?
WHAT’S IN THE F*****G BOX?”
With the plethora of films and TV series streaming across various platforms on a daily basis, it is not uncommon for a phrase or set of phrases to become so popular that they end up defining the movie for both, existing and potential fans.
For avid fans of the multi-accolade-winning American film director David Fincher, the aforementioned quote must have rung familiar bells. It is from none other than ‘Seven’, the psychological thriller that continues to send chills down the spines of fans who watch the film even today., almost 30 years post its theatrical release.
‘Seven’, a huge commercial as well as genre success, stars bigshot names like the likes of Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Spacey, and Gwyneth Paltrow in leading roles. It follows detectives Somerset and Mills, a seasoned cop and a relatively new one, as they are paired up to solve a chain of grisly murders.
Together they attempt to find a killer whose crimes seem to be inspired by the seven deadly sins: pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. The pursuit, albeit successful, leads the detectives into a conclusion that neither they, nor the audience see coming.
