It's more like a documentary than really a movie!

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2008)

This film by David Fincher based on the real story of an American serial killer that called himself Zodiac, is more like a documentary than really a movie! OK that Fincher's work probably has some fiction, that's not the point, what I really mean is that this "movie" is almost all done in a reported way. The plot is about the all investigation since it's beginning in the later 60's to our days; so there are too many time holes. If there's fiction (I don't know the real facts and I didn't even read the book, so I can't be sure), and I suppose there is, it's probably just some insignificant details, because the main elements "seem" to be true I don't know, I just didn't appreciate too much this "documentary style" in this movie. On one hand it's more faithful to the true events, but on the other hand it turns the film a bit boring and not suspenseful. And it's a bit long too. All in all it's not a bad film, but could have been better.
