Review of Zodiac (2007) by Alyson C — 28 May 2016

Zodiac is a very underrated film from the late 2000's. The direction from David Fincher is on point as always and the acting is stupendous. The characters are well fleshed out and the plot is fascinating.

I had seen numerous documentaries about the Zodiac killer, so I knew pretty much all there was to know about this case. Even with knowing the majority of the plot beforehand, I was transfixed on the film's narrative and the tension that slowly builds throughout.

It is a dialogue heavy movie but it's so well scripted that this is nowhere near a problem. Keep in mind how the actual Zodiac case turned out beforehand. I think it helped to know that the film was going to end ambiguously.
