re: Brad Pitt at the end of Seven: good or bad acting?

His actions are awkward to watch.

I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to go almost emotionless with shock/curiosity instead.

I would have like to see him play it cool, less screams/crys. More controlled questions. He could show his torment through facial expressions well enough. The internal struggle, and then the shock would send him into an almost zen state.

And then bam, he shoots Spacey's fricking head off.


It would have been a nice addition to his character, who is clearly in the struggle for the sin of wrath, to completely change his personality the in the instant when he fails/succeeds with his struggle.
