Still waiting for an ending...

Rating: 7/10 (22 January 2008)

It is difficult to fully appreciate Zodiac as a casual viewer of cinema. Many of my colleagues who saw this film complained that it was far too long and in the end, lacked a satisfying resolution. Of course it is hard to resolve a case in film that has yet to be resolved in real life. What I think many viewers have overlooked in this film is the attention paid to editing and cinematography.It is refreshing that in a time of constant film rehashes and cliché endings some directors dare to offer unique and fresh approaches to story telling. Although Zodiac is not one of the best films of 2007, it certainly gives audiences something to think about, and future directors something to learn from.
