This gripping 1995 mystery has Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt as detectives investigating a series of brutal murders across the city, based upon the Seven Deadly Sins of the Bible. Pitt tries to handle this, supported by his wife who admits to Freeman she’s pregnant. As the case continues, into the police station strolls the blood-stained killer (Kevin Spacey) calling himself John Doe. He says he can lead the detectives to the last two bodies of his “sin list” or plead insanity for a lesser punishment. While doubtful, Pitt and Freeman follow his lead and drive Doe to an empty field by a dirty road.

After a few moments of waiting, a car pulls up and the driver follows his instructions to come to this time and place to hand the detectives a box. While Freeman tries to block Pitt, he realizes the box contains the severed head of his wife who Doe claims represents Envy. He taunts Pitt with her being pregnant as Freeman realizes Doe intends Pitt to represent the sin of “Wrath” and kill him. Freeman begs Pitt not to do it as it will be letting the man win but Pitt snaps and guns Doe down. Yes, the killer is dead but he has gotten the final word and ruined so many lives to leave his chilling mark.
