What a cast. What a story, What a film.

Rating: 7/10 (7 December 2015)

When a movie casts Jake Gylenhaal alongside Robert Downey Jr and Mark Ruffalo you expect something great, and this movie delivered. What I loved about this thrilling tale of the Zodiac killer was the narrative point of view. It was astoundingly interesting to learn the tale of the Zodaic killer from the viewpoint of the media and the police, as opposed to the film following the killer. David Fincher does an incredible job directing this movie and the most prominent element of his contribution to the film, for me, was the mise en scene. Everything from the lighting to the props and costumes makes everything so believable and really compelled me to think this movie was filmed in the late 60's. Fincher will always be an incredible director and I'd largely consider this movie to be one of his finest. If you're looking for an action packed thriller, this movie isn't for you. But if you're looking for a compelling and enticing thriller, then this is hands down worth watching.
