the movie itself is pretty decent,but the disc is bare bones(2 disc special edition comes out in '08)

Rating: 7/10 (3 August 2007)

i didn't find too many problems with this movie.i mean,it is 157 minutes,but that doesn't really have a negative effect on the film.the acting is good all around,but no standout performances.the story is well written,and easy to follow.by the way,if you're not familiar with the story,Zodiac is a killer who terrorized the San Francisco Bay area in the late 60's early 70's.the case was never officially solved.a lot of the movie consists of quiet,dramatic moments,with a bit of subdued action here and there.the movie is compelling enough to maintain interest,but not outstanding.i did think,however,that the tone of the film was a bit too light for the subject matter.otherwise,though,it's pretty good.the DVD is bare bones,but there is a preview of a special 2 disc edition coming in 2008,which promises insights into the case with in depth interviews from those involved in the original case and much more.i actually think this stuff will be more compelling than the movie.my advice,rent the bare bones edition and wait for the special edition.
