The "realest" thriller I've ever seen

Rating: 8/10 (21 December 2008)

Before watching it, I had no idea who or what the Zodiac is!! which I think played a great part in my fascination with this movie. I expected an ordinary thriller with a lot of killings and many twists and turns, but this one is a lot different, which is something to be expected from a brilliant director like David Fincher. This movie is a piece of real life; it shows that not all cops are geniuses, not all criminals are stupid psycho maniacs, not all what the lead characters think are true, not all crimes are solvable... simply, nothing's certain! I like also how Fincher presented a based-on-true-story thriller without maiming facts and adding the well-known "comicy" style of nowadays thrillers. Everything in that movie seems morbidly true. Despite that, it's not boring at all; the take-it-easy gripping style of Fincher will keep you tied up to your chair throughout the almost-three-hour picture, leave alone watching Gyllenhaal, Ruffalo and Downey Together.
