I Really liked this movie

Rating: 8/10 (21 June 2014)

Zodiak is perfect. It was Dark, and horrifying, and dramatic all role into one.
The fictional tale of the real events of The Zodiak killer has the the bay area police and a local newspaper go on the hunt for this man.
The scenes with the actual Zodiac killer seem almost like a slasher film ironically because it felt like such a real situation. He kind of preps his victims and what seems like so suddenly he violently kills them. Fincher does very little to exaggerate the violence he just keeps you on the subject as it happens. less is more.
Some top notch acting going on in the movie. From Jake Gyllenhaal as Robert Graysmith, the character whose story we follow throughout the film. to Chloë Sevigny as Melanie Graysmith who played a small but memorable role as Robert's second wife who he met and develop a relationship with in the over 10 year span he spent obsessing with the killer.
The art direction was really good. i love a good period piece that can take me back to that time and place so well. The cinematography also made it fun to look at.
It was a well played out story the could have gone wrong because of all the time that passes in the film, Fincher shows his mastery over the craft and his ability to handle so much going on in the film with the large ensemble cast.
Definitely glad I saw it.
