Zodiac vs. Breach... A Match Race

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2007)

Zodiac vs. Breach: Zodiac wins by a length and a half.
Zodiac is far more suspenseful, more intricate and entertaining than Breach.
Individual acting performances are much closer in comparison, but the overall package goes to Zodiac.
Mark Ruffalo steals the show. His character is far superior to the Ryann Phillippe character in Breach, more intense and believable.
Jake Gyllenhal's character is so shy, if leaves little room for acting.
Robert Downey Jr.'s character is the only weak link in the chain. I found him a little too caricature-like. Although, it is more likely a direction flaw as opposed to acting.
In the first twenty minutes, I was a little concerned that it was just a mere blood and gore flick, but the movie moved forward smoothly, jumping forward in time in big chunks with ease and became an engaging story. There were a few moments of dark humor as well.
Go spend the ten bucks, its worth it.
