    ★★★★½

    Upon initially reading the description, I thought this was the same story as Wind River. We watched it anyways and I am so glad we did. Couldn’t have been more wrong definitely a different story and such a good one. This serial killer was so messed up that I had to remind myself halfway through this was a true story…

    Casting was out of this world with Nick Cage, Hank from Breaking Bad, and of course Vanessa (her role here…

    Very well made movie. Could be argued that the beginning was slower paced, but it set up the entire plot and was of utmost importance. 

    Colin Farrell was an absolute menace this entire film and I loved it. He played such a good character. All the acting was superb and Ralph Fiennes was a fantastic antagonist as always. 

    Really enjoyed how the ending tied together the whole plot and it came back around beautifully to the killing of the child…

    Howard Shore really captured Silence of The Lambs with this score, but he took it to a whole different level. 

    The concept of this movie was so unique and intriguing. Acting was top notch with great characters, even though there were really only 3 that talked. All 7 sin kills were each displayed in such a graphic way, much further than even I could imagine. 

    Lastly, the ending was hands down the greatest ending in cinema history. Unfreakingreal. Got chills twice in the last 20 minutes and was quite literally on the edge of my seat. A perfect ending to a perfect movie.
