Not a very good film

Rating: 2/10 (3 March 2007)

I felt sick after seeing this movie. Not because it was excessively gory (there's less gore here than on prime time television). Not because this was a commercial sell-out like "Panic Room." Because it's just not a very good film made by a one-time great director, David Fincher. It doesn't even feel like any of his other films. Se7en, Fightclub are true classics. But Zodiac just doesn't work . The pacing of the movie is so off that it's nonexistent. The acting is standard. There is no drama, no tension. The only highlight is the cinematography which looks like a moving Robert Bechtle painting. But that's just not enough from a movie that feels every bit as long as it's dull two hours and forty minutes.
