Zodiac is a fantastic film....Director David Fincher has crafted a wonderful film from Graysmith's book and it has the feel of those classic crime dramas.....it's a fascinating yarn and excellent film based on the experience of Graysmith.....The California setting also puts me in mind of Dirty Harry and some of the classic 1970s films.....The cast is uniformly excellent.... ...

Zodiac" follows several key players in the case, from the police officers tasked with finding the Zodiac, to the reporters who famously covered him.
Director David Fincher does his best to make some sort of effort at telling the whole Zodiac story in his latest masterpiece, "Zodiac.

That may sound like overkill, but it's the attention to detail that makes "Zodiac" so stunningly mesmerizing and lends it to a format like HD .
There are only a few times a year, if we're lucky, when a great film comes to Blu-Ray with features and a technical transfer that does it justice.

It's a very linear film in that respect.....For a movie about a serial killer, "Zodiac" is suspiciously light on any sort of action.....Although the film is a good police procedural....And Fincher is meticulous in replicating the appearance of the period, right down to duplicating the "Chronicle" pressroom..... ...

the Zodiac did as well to the hard-working Detective Toschi.....later concur that the Zodiac was not a diabolical genius....The ensemble cast is uniformly excellent in roles.....a wonderfully pompous (but not exaggerated) Melvin Belli....Mark Ruffalo's Dave Toschi likes animal crackers.... ...

Zodiac" is different, and better.
Zodiac" is best taken as one long, artfully sustained dying fall, without a sharp resolution.
Zodiac" is not the serial killer tale audiences expect in this torture-friendly, cold-cased era.

They were committed by a maniac self-named the Zodiac, who is hopefully dead as of this writing.
With excellent assistance by music supervisors Randall Poster ( THE SQUID AND THE WHALE ) and George Drakulias ( ZOOLANDER ), ZODIAC evokes a citizenry that would rather be listening to happy-go-lucky soul songs like Lynn Anderson's "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden" and Sly and the Family Stones' "I Want to Take You Higher" instead of increasingly panicked news reports.

Because this excellent movie about the real-life early '70s San Francisco serial killer who called himself Zodiac might be the most densely packed, exhaustingly detailed piece of information-overload you'll see all year.
Not to Be Confused With: The 2005 movie The Zodiac , which feels like a cheaply violent and reductive Reader's Digest -y TV movie compared to this.
