The movie kicks off in an atmosphere that is so quiet that it is a bit weird and peaceful that it is a bit depressing. The continuous rainstorm makes the entire large screen made of blue, gray and black full of gloom, restlessness and uneasiness.

Shamose is a criminal police officer in the local police station and a murder expert. When his thirty-two-year police career was finally over, Shamose felt not that he was reluctant to leave, but that he was relieved after being exhausted. He could not wait to enjoy his retirement life.

In order to replace his job, the young and energetic Mills sent to this big city from a small place. Mills was full of energy and conceit. His experience in handling murder cases in the past five years made him confident and ready to do something in this city. But Mills' enthusiasm hit a wall in front of Shamoses. Shamoses not only did not care about Mills, but even treated him coldly. The arrogant Mills seemed dissatisfied with Shamoses.

In less than five minutes, the premise of the story was explained. David Finch used a case where his wife could not bear domestic violence and impulsively shot her husband, and introduced Shamosse and Mills into the story without any trace, and used three or two dialogues to outline the personality prototypes of the two characters, which made the audience in the cinema much more excited.

Nicholas sat in the cinema and could hear the audience discussing carefully during the brief time of the opening. The failure of "Alien 3" has caused many people to question David's directing ability, but today's opening is obviously a big surprise.

However, just as everyone else ignored the opening of the film, Nicholas focused on the opening, because he discovered some abnormal scenes. The opening of the "Seven Deadly Sins" was full of gloomy and horror. These scattered scenes seemed to depict a person cutting off his fingerprints and then recording his strange thoughts with a diary. Finally, there were many murderous photos and screenshots. These scattered and broken scenes made the thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere fill the cinema in an instant.

However, Nicholas always felt something was wrong. There were only a pair of hands on the screen, and there were no other details, but he always felt that these hands were familiar, but he couldn't tell the reason. Relatively speaking, he noticed another clear detail. On the list of cast members, David Finch, Brad Pitt, and Morgan Freeman appeared, but Hugo's name did not appear. This was really strange.

However, the entire opening was less than a minute, and most viewers did not notice this detail at all, and Nicholas could only temporarily bury this idea in his heart.

The movie once again got to the point in peace. Mills and his wife Tracy's sweet and happy morning brought a hint of warmth in the storm outside the window, but then a call from the police station put Mills into another world.

The first homicide occurred on Monday, the first case of Mills’ arrival in the city and the last case before Samosse retired. In a dirty apartment where cockroaches breed, an extremely fat man zombieed dead in a chair, his face buried deep in a bowl full of pasta in front of him.

After the autopsy, the forensic doctor confirmed that the man died due to overeating. The coroner confirmed that the deceased may have been forced to eat for up to twelve hours and until he was unconscious. Then he went through torture and torture and continued to eat, which eventually led to death.

Shamose believes that if the murderer wants to kill someone, there are more neat methods, and the murderer deliberately chose this complex and wordy method, which is obviously premeditated. Shamose believes that the murderer will definitely not stop. Therefore, Shamose demands to withdraw from this case. He does not want to be plagued by this case before retirement, because he knows that it must be very tricky, which makes Mills completely ununderstand it.

Shamosey asked his boss to withdraw from the investigation of the case, but he did not think that Mills was competent for the case, because for Mills, who had just arrived in the city, the case was too complicated and too heavy, and Mills obviously lacked experience. This made Mills resist and tried to prove his ability according to reason. But in the end, the boss still asked Shamosey to continue handling the case, while Mills went to handle other cases.

The fat man case on Monday has not yet been clarified, and another case happened Tuesday. A lawyer was killed in his office and Mills became the person in charge of the case. The police department colleagues expressed distrust of Mills when they learned that Mills was in charge of the case.

The lawyer died in the office of the firm and wrote a word in blood on the floor, "Greed".

The police boss was worried that Mills would not be responsible for the heavy responsibility of this case. Because the death of a wealthy lawyer had attracted the attention of all news media, he hoped that Shamose could take over. Shamose expressed disappointment with the society. The city was full of violence, hatred and discrimination. Justice was shrouded in a dense cloud. He no longer had unrealistic dreams. He hoped to uphold justice, but he would not give everything for justice.

Shamose returned to the first crime scene and carefully checked every clue. Finally, he found a word behind the refrigerator, "Glut Eat", and a note that reads "The long road is long and hard, and you will see the light after you are released from prison." This is from John Milton's "Paradise Lost", which reminds Shamose of the seven deadly sins of Christianity: glutton, greed, laziness, anger, pride, lust, desire and jealousy.

Shamosey believes that the first case is gluttony and the second case is greed, which is a serial killer case, and there will be five more homicides after that. Unfortunately, this view has not been taken seriously by the boss and Mills.

Shamose refused to accept the case, but Mills couldn't wait to show his skills. Shamose, who left the police station and took a taxi, heard the driver ask, "Where do you want to go?" Shamose looked at the continuous rain outside the window and said meaningfully, "Stay away from this ghost place."

At this moment, the movie only passed twenty-five minutes, but the tight and gloomy atmosphere in the air made people shudder. The endless rainstorms made the chest feel depressed and breathless. The commotion in the entire cinema disappeared, and it fell into a silence and tension that was unconscious. Even the audience themselves did not notice this abnormal change.

Nicholas couldn't help but frown slightly. He could vaguely feel that this was not a simple case, and the title of the movie proved the Seven Deadly Sins that Shamosey mentioned. However, although such a story is not common in Hollywood scripts, it is not rare. What's special about the movie? Also, why didn't Hugo appear?

However, Nicholas could also feel that the film's camera and atmosphere were invisibly cold and weird under the control of the director, which made all the noisy in the cinema quiet. The gloomy coolness emitted from the darkness made the temperature that had not dissipated in September's summer heat become cool, which made Nicholas gradually give up thinking and enter the plot.

Although Shamosey refused to handle the case, he went to the library to consult a lot of materials and wrote a list of books related to the Seven Deadly Sins, hoping to help Mills' investigation. But Mills, who lacked patience, obviously believed that these books had no effect at all.

Trisy invited Shamose to have dinner at home. Mills seemed unhappy, but Trasy had a very happy chat with Shamose and learned about the happy and fulfilling life of the young couple, which also eased the relationship between Shamose and Mills. After dinner, the two talked about the details of the lawyer's case on Tuesday. They found that the murderer was likely to be preaching the atonement and forced the deceased to confess, just like... a preacher.

Immediately, Shamosse and Mills thought of the key points from the clues left by the law firm. They left Tracy alone at home, followed the clues overnight, and found that there was an upside down painting in the office, with the words "Save Me" hidden behind the painting, and found that the fingerprint did not come from the victim.

After a quiet Wednesday, the police locked the suspect from their fingerprints on Thursday. He was a suspect suffering from serious mental illness and committed crimes. The lawyer who was killed successfully defended him in court. Obviously, this is the suspect that suits their speculation. Mills thought so, but Shamosey always felt that something was strange about it.

Nicholas couldn't help but adjust his sitting position, and his brain was covered with a fog due to the progress of the story. Even he himself did not notice it. His hands were wrapped on his chest, his muscles tightly protecting himself, staring at the big screen.

When the police rushed to the suspect's apartment with full arms, they found a man tied and nearly corrupt on his bed. The word "lazy" was written on the wall above the head of the bed. Everyone thought that the person was dead. Mills and Shamosey began to search for evidence on the scene, but at this moment, the rotten mummy, who was almost skinny and boneless, suddenly coughed and struggled, like a zombie, which made all the policemen in the room mess up.

Hearing the cough, Nicholas couldn't help but grab his arm, almost jumping up, and a burst of exclamations came from the cinema. The trembling commotion broke the silence that lasted for nearly fifty minutes. In an instant, the rapid breathing sound was endless. Only then did people realize that they seemed to have forgotten their breathing for so long in the past, and even the sound of their heartbeat quietly disappeared into the flow of blood. Until this moment, the trembling after being frightened awakened the stiffness and fear in the entire cinema.

The thunderous drum beat hard on Nicholas' eardrum, and he couldn't help but breathe heavily. The suffocating urgency actually caused him to fall into endless panic without realizing it!
