No sex jokes or toilet flushes here

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2007)

At last! A film has been made that appeals to those of us who do not believe that sex jokes or a toilet flush are staples of great movies.
Zodiac is a serious film for serious crime buffs. The film, which closely follows the original facts (as best as they are known), is almost as much a documentary as a movie. The characters are one dimensional; there is little or no humor; and, with the POSSIBLE exception of the unraveling of Robert Graysmith's marriage, there is really no subplot.
All this adds up to a film that is a little long but pretty accurate and leaves you feeling like you learned something. You won't laugh out loud here, but, there again, there was nothing entertaining or funny about the Zodiac.
