A Wonderful Account

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2008)

I've been meaning to see Zodiac ever since it hit theaters early last year but the first time I got around to it was last night. To put it simply, I was blown away by this film. I was a little skeptical because I usually get a little annoyed with movies that are over two hours but this one kept my attention the entire time.
The director of Se7en, David Fincher, also directs this one and I would go as far as saying that it's just as good as Se7en. Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, and Robert Downey Jr. are all astounding in their roles but I guess that's to be expected from these great actors. The story sticks very well to the original accounts and the murders are gruesome and brilliantly done. Everybody should see this film.
On an ending note, I think everyone who liked Se7en will love Zodiac. It's already making its way to the bargain bins so pick it up today.
