Well made but lacks suspense

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2007)

The movie is well made and has very good acting. I did give the movie 7 out of 10. However, the movie lacks any suspense at all. I felt like this movie could have been much better if they incorporated more suspense and add some fear to the movie.
The movie honestly plays out like a Discovery channel documentary as the cartoonist gets more involved with the Zodiac case which leads to him discovering clues and things the cops missed out on during their investigation.
The story is semi-interesting but not nearly as good as Fight Club or Seven by the same director.
The movie only grossed 35 million at this time and had a budget of 85 million. Other than 2 early scenes, this movie could have easily been PG (not pg-13). It just didn't feel like a movie about a serial killer. It felt too much like a documentary and probably was a bad idea for the big screen.
