not a standing masterpiece but remarkable

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2007)

"Zodiac" is a fascinating movie with lots of suspects, holding you in its grip from start to finish; gets to maintain a rhythm of both anxiety and fear and it's certainly a must - see film despite not being as considerable as "Seven". Would say some parts of it are inconclusive but Fincher transports the audience, masterfully, in the mood of the Seventies. It's unsettling, either intellectually or emotionally, and subtly delivers tension and anxiety. Probably overlong and superbly acted, this movie - partly police film, partly monster film - keeps viewers riveted and seems very REAL. Fightclub's director has rewarded his fans once again.
