Gluttony. Greed. Sloth. Envy. Wrath. Pride. Lust.
Two homicide detectives are on a desperate hunt for a serial killer whose crimes are based on the "seven deadly sins" in this dark and haunting film that takes viewers from the tortured remains of one victim to the next. The seasoned Det. Somerset researches each sin in an effort to get inside the killer's mind, while his novice partner, Mills, scoffs at his efforts to unravel the case.

Extremely well made and I never want to see it again. That is the whole review.
- nadia_noirThe case forThe Provocateur★★★★★
The box. Everyone remembers the box. What I remember is Freeman in the library, and the rain that never stops, and how the film makes decency look like exhaustion.
