A police account

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2020)

As a time-honored director and with a significant number of good films behind him, David Fincher ventures once again into treating an assassin, this time the Zodiac in a film of the same name.
It is inevitable to resort to comparison with another similar work on his part, 'Seven'. The difference is evident, the first being an almost horror film, while 'Zodiac' focuses on the police thriller.
It is outstanding how David Fincher manages to create an atmosphere throughout the film. An atmosphere of uncertainty and above all constant tension. It is a merit how he manages to maintain tension and suspense for such a long time or how sequences in full light can be disturbing. Fincher achieves this through the dialogues, which are absolutely well thought out to develop the narrative of the film.
In retrospect it could be said that 'Zodiac' is one of David Fincher's best works because of the way he treats a murderer in a different way than usual, with a slow narrative and dialogues that only cause a feeling of increasing tension during the more than two hours of film.
