Plot – A clever and ruthless murderer is killing chosen people in rapid sequence and in the most gruesome way. The young and ambitious Mills and the expert Somerset are looking for him, even if they have opposite personalities and they barely stand each other. They learn to "live together" as the hunt for the killer goes on and the mystery begins to be clearer: the monster chooses the victims and kills them following the seven deadly sins - gluttony, greed, sloth, lust, pride, envy and anger.

“- Mills: Wait, I thought all you did was kill innocent people.
- John Doe: Innocent? Is that supposed to be funny? An obese man... a disgusting man who could barely stand up; a man who if you saw him on the street, you'd point him out to your friends so that they could join you in mocking him; a man, who if you saw him while you were eating, you...” (continue)(continue reading)“We see a deadly sin on every street corner, in every home, and we tolerate it. We tolerate it because it's common, it's trivial. We tolerate it morning, noon, and night.”
So many freaks out there doin' their little evil deeds they don't wanna do... "the voices made me do it. My dog made me do it. Jodie Foster told me to do it".
“- Somerset: [to Mills' wife] Anyone who spends a significant amount of time with me finds me disagreeable. Just ask your husband.
- Mills: Very true. Very, very true.”“This is not even my desk! [hangs up]”
“I visited your home this morning after you'd left. I tried to play husband. I tried to taste the life of a simple man. It didn't work out, so I took a souvenir... her pretty head.”
“- Somerset: This guy's methodical, exacting, and worst of all, patient.
- Mills: He's a nut-bag! Just because the fucker's got a library card doesn't make him Yoda!”When a person is insane, as you clearly are, do you know that you're insane? Maybe you're just sitting around, reading "Guns and Ammo", masturbating in your own feces, do you just stop and go, "wow! It is amazing how fucking crazy I really am!"? Yeah. Do you guys do that?
I remember getting up one morning and going to work. Just another day like any other, except it was the first day after I knew about … pregnancy. And I felt this fear for the first time ever. I remember thinking: "how can I bring a child into a world like this? How can a person grow up with all this around them?".
“Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.”
“- John Doe: It's more comfortable for you to label me as insane.
- Mills: It's very comfortable.”It's always these questions with you. "Did the kid see it?". Who gives a fuck? He's dead, his wife killed him. Anything else has nothing to do with us.
“You gotta be a... a hero. You want to be a champion. Well, let me tell you. People don't want a champion. They want to eat cheeseburgers, play the lotto and watch television.”
“- Police Officer at Gluttony crime scene: I didn't touch anything... but he's had his face in a plate of spaghetti for about forty five minutes now.
- Mills: Wait a minute, no one bothers with vital signs?
- Police Officer at Gluttony crime scene: Did I stutter? This guy ain't breathing unless he's breathing spaghetti sauce.”“On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing.”
“- John Doe: Realize detective, the only reason that I'm here right now is that I wanted to be.
- Mills: No, no, we would have got you eventually.
- John Doe: Oh really? So, what were you doing? Biding your time? Toying with me? Allowing five innocent people to die until you felt like springing your trap?”
