Yes, I know some people put the number seven in place of the v. I don’t. Who gives a sh1t?
Rather than bore you with a blow-by-blow recital of things you already know/can guess, here is a comment on each “Deadly Sin”, in alphabetical order.
Envy: Don’t know if I buy the explanation for this one, seems a bit too wrap-up-ish and less real…but deserved? Oh, absolutely. Merciful, even.
Gluttony: Ok now this one is just obviously plain wrong. I mean, if death awaits you for eating too much spaghetti, then perhaps the Crusading Atheists/Antitheists have a point. It doesn’t, of course…and neither do they.
Greed: Defense lawyers are not, by definition, scumbags. Plenty of members of each side lie, cheat, and steal. But this is a good way to make people uncomfortable.
“He didn’t deserve that! Well…he was sort of nasty…ummm…”
Lust: Just record it and give it to his wife, you sick b@stard. And why is it HER fault, too? You sexist pig, JD.
Pride: He almost descends to Jigsaw-level with this one…(that’s an insult). Although Morgan Freeman’s description of what happened is more interesting than anything after the original ‘Saw’.
Sloth: How can the laziest person he can find be a drug dealer? That takes some movement, I would think…and his other activities, while heinous, have nothing to do with Sloth.
Wrath: Now this is where there is a REAL choice…it’s a clear moral dilemma, accomplishing in one scene what ‘Saw’ 1 through 187 fail to in their entirety.
Oh…great movie, too. Just cut the boring easily-solved-in-Brady-Bunch-time diner scene.
