Brilliant film about obsession

Rating: 10/10 (30 June 2020)

Shakespeare said that "expectation is the root of all heartache". If you go into Zodiac expecting a traditional police procedural or crime film you will be disappointed. But if you go into Zodiac and accept the film on its own terms then you will be rewarded.
This is a haunting examination of obsession that tears at the moral fabric of the main characters. The Zodiac case both nourishes and destroys the characters.
There are brilliant scenes n this film and each could be a masterclass in how to create tension. The scenes with the Zodiac killer are done in such a matter of fact way that they become truly unnerving.
The film may be overlong and at times tangential but its also bod and brilliant and as such well worth your time.
