Boring for at least an hour

Rating: 1/10 (3 March 2007)

Two hours and forty minutes with at least an hour of looking at my watch is not what I want when I go to a movie. There's a half hour sequence which goes nowhere... Which is the point of the movie, I think, that life goes nowhere. The look of Zodiac is flat and empty... Which is the point of the movie, I think, that life is flat and empty. Zodiac's ending is underwhelming... which is the point of the movie, I think, that life is underwhelming. This is the kind of movie that film critics love... while audiences who've actually paid to see the movie will hate. I know I did. After a while you start to think the acting is pretty good because there is nothing else to look at. But there's no getting around the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is just plain awful. You don't believe him for a second. Save your money, stay at home, sit in a dark room and just think about how bleak, underwhelming, flat and empty life is.
