Great movie. Vivid showcase. Power to the people

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2007)

Zodiac was a fun movie, a little long in the dialog, but had some humorous moments and very spirited moments before savage murders. Does very little to restore faith in humanity. Robert Downey Jr. was a delight in his role as intrepid reporter. The Jake Gyllenhaal character was relentless in pursuing facts about the case against all odds. Even the stilted dialog couldn't dampen the tone of grade A acting. I did feel compassion for the characters even if one guy involved wanted to blow away people for the fame of it. I liked the direction, camera angles, set designs. There was some voiced regrets towards the press. Most of the witnesses were flawed people who just wanted to get out of the way. It seems to pay off in a modest way. You'll enjoy how this story wraps up. Bring a date and she'll be glad you don't wear outfits or maybe you should start.
