Zodiac

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2007)

I thought that Zodiac was a really well done movie. Even though it was a tad long it kept my interest throughout the movie and was well written. I only knew a little bit about the movie going into it so it kept me guessing throughout the movie. I thought Downing Jr. did a great job in his role. The story of a serial killer using zodiac symbols and puzzles was new to me in the movie world. I had never seen it before and i liked movies such as Seven. Mysterious suspense movies that kept you thinking and on your toes. I think Gyllenhall did a great job also in the movie. His character started off as a shy comic drawing nobody into a crazy, obsessed driven man that almost lost everything in his attempts to find the Zodiac killer. I liked that it wasn't one of those flashy horror movies that come out that have no plot. This was a movie that had a plot, was well acted, had great dialog and mysterious twists.
