Who played the murderer? What kind of sparks did the distribution and partners of the three actors Morgan, Brad and Hugo burst into? The most important thing is that it is absolutely rare to be able to be called "great" by Roger. The "pulp novel" that was praised by "great" last time is still affecting the cultural trends of the whole United States. So what will happen this time?

All of this has become the most exciting topic since the release of the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Roger did not directly state the roles played by the three protagonists, but praised the roles' performances, which further stimulated the audience's curiosity. Especially after the premiere, all the audiences who participated in the premiere kept silent and refused to discuss the story plot, but repeatedly emphasized, "Spoilers are not fun, you must go to the cinema to watch it yourself." This was originally a big truth, but following the audience's endless praise for the movie, it was a bit annoying: you kept saying it was good, but you didn't say it, it was really curious and anxious!

Obviously, the audience who participated in the premiere were very proud of this effect. They enjoyed their superiority in knowing the ending, and the rush that others felt unbearable, and even looked forward to the gloating of other audiences when they walked into the cinema and were frightened.

Although there are a small number of people who can't hide their words spoiled in advance, in the era when the Internet has not yet been popularized, the spread of news is obviously controlled by mainstream media, so the real ending is always a secret for most viewers. Almost all media have cooperated with the publicity strategy of the "Seven Deadly Sins" crew and avoided talking about the final murderer, which also incited the audience's curiosity to a new high.

What’s even more annoying is that the media have given praise to the movies!

"US Weekly" rated ninety, saying in the reviews, "This is an interesting, shocking, savvy, dirty, very disturbing work you may not like what you see, but you will definitely be influenced by this story!"

This kind of commentary is also unpredictable, "You may not like what you see"? But "Us Weekly" gave a high score of 90. Isn't this a contradiction? However, if you think about the profound social discussion caused by the Los Angeles Times, it is not surprising: works that touch the sensitive nerves of society are never so easy to like, but no one can deny the profoundness and excitement of the movie.

"There is no doubt that this is a very 'disgusting' work. The Hollywood Reporter" comments are also very intriguing. With a high score of 88 points, it becomes more interesting, which also stimulates people's curiosity.

The New York Times also joined the ranks, "There is no doubt that this is a thought-provoking and thrilling work, but it is difficult for you to enjoy too much 'pleasure' from the movie." The 85-point evaluation also gave the movie a positive review.

It is worth noting that thriller and suspense movies have never been favored by critics, just as horror movies are always called "short-made", action movies are always considered "empty plot". Thriller and suspense movies are subject to their own theme issues, and it is rare to see works with an average score of 60. For example, "The Silence of the Lambs" won an average score of 84 points back then, which is still a record in film history, so this work finally achieved a Grand Slam at the Oscars.

Objectively speaking, there is still a gap between the "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Silence of the Lambs" from the perspective of film technology, but even so, the "Seven Deadly Sins" have received such high praise from film critics, and many authoritative media have unanimously given ratings of more than 80, which is even more rare.

The Wall Street Journal gave an 80-year-old evaluation, and said in the comments, "The main storyline of a one-time story covers up many plot loopholes, but it still creates a sensational and thought-provoking case. The reflection after quieting down has become the biggest success of the movie."

In addition, the San Francisco Chronicle also scored 80 points, "This thrilling and suspenseful work is filled with an unsettling and pathological atmosphere from beginning to end."

From the many media comments of the "Seven Deadly Sins", it can be seen that the ratings of this thriller and suspense film are bound to be incomparable to "Schindler's List", "Pulp Novels", and "Before Sunrise", not only has a sound of praise, but also has a lot of controversy. This is originally a work with many contradictions. Even the media that gave praise to the film also uses contradictions as evaluation. Obviously, this is a work that requires people to calm down and think slowly and carefully savor. This has caused huge differences in the media's views on the work, and the noisy discussion has pushed it to the peak of public opinion.

The 50th of the San Francisco Chronicle is the lowest among the first comments. They believe that "the premise is that the film is indeed intriguing, but the whole work is sticky, wet, pretending to be terrifying, without any terrifying." Such ruthless reviews almost mean nothing about the movie, but they still agree with the "intriguing" at the core of the film's theme, which is indeed very intriguing.

"USA Today" has always been unhappy with Hugo. It is rare to see them express their appreciation for Hugo. This time, it is no exception. "Director David Finch tried to create more gloomy, depression, and fear, trying to dig out the deep psychological emotions outside the dark and horrifying style of the serial killer, but the result was backfired. The story was inappropriate and the theme was unclear."

The 63-point evaluation also clearly shows the newspaper's attitude towards the "Seven Deadly Sins".

The Houston Chronicle also gave 63 points. Their evaluation was the first batch of popular film reviews after the movie premiere. As the top ten newspapers in the country, their influence cannot be underestimated. Obviously, they are not interested in the "Seven Deadly Sins". "This is a work that loses the star but is a charming and attractive star. Such a film full of first-class talents has been forced to become an absurd mixture. It can be felt that the director is struggling to make nonsense credible, but unfortunately, his efforts are not enough."

Interestingly, "USA Today", "Houston Chronicle" and "New York Post" are both leaders of the ban alliance. The "San Francisco Chronicle" also joined the ban alliance for a time. However, after the "Seven Deadly Sins" was released this time, the "New York Post" shut up unexpectedly, which was really too surprising. As a result, the "Houston Chronicle" replaced it and became the leader in criticizing the "Seven Deadly Sins".

"The director tried to connect the whole story with religious beliefs, the dark and hopeless city streets, the rainy weather, the old police officer's disappointment with indifference to human feelings, and the tragic fateful ending. All of this made people begin to examine themselves and this society, whether human beings cannot escape the fate of these seven deadly sins. From this point of view, the film is indeed impressive, but the theme of this film is too pale and powerless.

The Seven Deadly Sins are actually the most basic human nature. If these are all sins, they are actually denying human nature itself, a fallacy of "human being sinful". The most people in the movie seem to be guilty and should be judged, but these are actually the extreme prejudice of the murderer himself.

Human nature is not sin, but the extreme human nature is the root of sin. Most of us ordinary people are still far from the extreme human nature, and there is no need to rise to the height of judgement on ourselves. On the contrary, many times we should try to understand this nature.

In terms of character creation, it is obviously not the director's specialty.

The old police officer's meticulousness and pessimism did not have enough details to lay the groundwork. Apart from an ex-girlfriend who mentioned it once, such a steady and weather-beaten person fell into confusion for such a simple reason. This was obviously too superficial. What's even more ridiculous is that the seemingly in-depth conversation between the old police officer and the young police officer's bar actually impacted the old police officer's outlook on life, which seemed too simple.

The young police officer's personality is a big failure. In addition to impulsiveness, he is also impulsive. Such an impulsive personality is unconvincing under the actor's simple and weak interpretation. The emotional turning changes are too simple. The love between him and his wife is outlined in a few words, but it is still not enough to promote the plot.

This is even more so for the murderer. He did not even explain the background of the murderer in his limited time. His seemingly God-like preaching was long and boring. He claimed to be superior to others and was just a marginal person living in a dilapidated apartment. The plot tried his best to show the murderer's wisdom and intelligence, which was obviously ruined by the bad ending.

Of course, this is still a work worth discussing simply from the reflection triggered by the movie; but in terms of the completion of the movie, it is a failure."

The "Houston Chronicle" can be said to have criticized the film severely, but it still gave such an evaluation of 63 points, which is also in line with many of its views in the film reviews.

The review of the Houston Chronicle was criticized by the Chicago Tribune, which many people did not expect, "This is a movie, not a 'recalling years'."

This really makes people laugh. The meaning of "Chicago Tribune" is that the movie is limited in space, and the director uses enough details to outline the character's personality in a limited time. This is already very rare. The real core idea of ​​"Seven Deadly Sins" is people's reflection on social indifference, and this is also recognized by the "Houston Chronicle". As for the characters themselves, they completely need to rely on the performances of the actors to support them. From this point of view, the "Chicago Tribune" praised the "Seven Deadly Sins" in this way.

Although there was controversy in the film reviews, some praise and some criticism, which also made the discussion about the "Seven Deadly Sins" spread in full swing, but overall, many praises have become the main theme. In addition, among these contradictory but excellent evaluations, praise for actors can be seen everywhere.

Obviously, no one wants to miss the head-on battle between Hugo and Brad.
