Fincher's finest work

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2011)

In David Fincher's "Zodiac", the only scenes usually connected with a serial killer film happen early-and make no mistake, they're bracing. If I had known ahead of time that the only parts showing the killer at work were few and far between, I would've wondered what made up the rest of the nearly 3 hour film.
Knowing the bland Jake Gyllenhall was the star certainly wouldn't have been a plus...but for this great movie, forget all previous misconceptions. Not only is this the best film of the genre ever made, it's also director David Fincher's finest work.
Take the best parts of "7", "The Game", and "The Panic Room"; mix 'em up into a creation worthy of Hitchcock; and you have "Zodiac", the most criminally underrated film from the last decade.
