We want our money back

Rating: 1/10 (17 March 2007)

At the end of Zodiac my friends and I looked at each other and said, "We want our money back."
In addition to the price of admission, we wasted almost three hours of our time on this long winded bore.
At the center of the film is Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as a cartoonist obsessed with the Zodiac murders. None of us found him believable in the role.
The movie lacks any kind of forward drive. It just sits there piling on pieces of circumstantial evidence. Sometimes the characters follow the trail of evidence to a dead end. Sometimes the evidence uncovered is just left behind and never followed up. Were the leads left behind by the characters or were they left behind by the filmmakers? You don't really know. The storytelling loses focus and we just stopped caring.
So we'd like to "thank" everyone who gave this movie a 10 rating and influenced our decision to see this dull lifeless movie. Did you really think this was one of the best movies of all time? We actually thought it was one of the worst we'd seen in a long time.
