February 8, 2008I stayed up REAL late watching the DVD and I almost never do that. Couldn't turn it off. In the end, sure, a bit of a shaggy dog story but I didn't mind.
Quibble - they might have explained the Melvin Belli character a bit more. I got that he was some celebrity lawyer but I d... read more -
March 20, 2012fb1378820053The Zodiac killing's are one of the worlds most prolific crimes of the modern era, The film however is not. It's over long and can be ball achingly dull. You end up waiting for 2 hours and a half for the conclusion (Which is the film's saving grace) The acting is a major plus tho... read more

September 1, 2011Zodiac is a pure masterpiece and is one of David Finchers best, and is slso one of the greatest mystery films ever made. The plot was tremendoys, it has so many twists and turns and so many meanings that Zodiac leaves you with questions, and it was like watching Inception, the f... read more

June 23, 2011This was a really good film. I was on the edge of my seat and the fact that it's a true story is an even more scary thought. All of the cast were exceptional.

May 14, 2011Zociac isn't the most interesting of Serial Killer films, but of course it is based on true events and without ever clearing up for sure who the Zodiac actually was, the invfestigation is concentrated on and of course very drawn out as a result.
Still a good watch for those of... read more -
March 15, 2011An intense mystery based on a true story that will drag you on an endless trail of clues. The film goes to show that in real life, justice is not always served.

January 8, 2011I understand it's hard to love David Fincher's "Zodiac", a three hour procedural drama about one of the most notoriously unsolved murder sprees in American crime history; but it's something that I found uncommonly compelling. Fincher's film is all about atmosphere. He takes such ... read more

[W]here Se7en, with its stygian gloom and theatrical executions, inflated the serial killer genre to gothic proportions, Zodiac lets the air back out. It is methodical rather than macabre, clinical ra... Full Review

Fincher, more subdued ... and aching for a return to smart suspense films from the likes of Sidney Lumet and Alan J. Pakula, pulls us by the collar into the frame and cranks the sense of menace taut w... Full Review

Gyllenhaal always manages to present a person of some sensitivity without leaning on actorish resources.

I think this is a great film.

Any honest neurotic could probably tell you: the emotional payoff of an obsession is not attaining some longed-for goal -- it's the obsession itself, which fulfills certain needs. Full Review

Zodiac is long -- over two and a half hours -- but when it's over, you almost wish it had gone on for another 20 minutes. Full Review

Low-key but all the more compelling for it, Zodiac is the first must-see movie of 2007. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
It makes you want to study it even more closely, in search of things you might have missed, trailing after leads that flash by in the relentless momentum of going nowhere fast. If you're not careful, ... Full Review

For all its dramatic flaws, Zodiac deserves praise for not choosing the easy route. Full Review
