Zodiac

Rating: 9/10 (12 May 2015)

One of the few extraordinary, gifted directors continuing to make quality films is David Fincher. The man knows how to piece a story together and make long periods of dialog interesting. Watching Zodiac, I was so drawn into it that I really felt like wanting to solve a murder mystery. I can understand why Robert Graysmith dedicated his life to searching out the truth of the Zodiac killings. The initial kills are horrific and hooks the audience immediately, which leads to the chase. Just watching the film I knew the story had to be historically accurate because it seemed like I was listening into private conversations that happened years ago. The trio of stars, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo were superb characters and likable. The film is very long but worth the watch if your patient enough to watch an amazing truthful story about a serial killer. Not enough do we get a high budget accurate representation of real-life killers. Zodiac (9/10) is a sleeping gym that I recommend to all.
