Zodiac (2007)

Thanks for the memories!

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The acting in this movie is really good.

A great thought provoking film that leaves you wanting more of the story. One of David Fincher's best films and definitely most underrated. An excellent cast, particularly Mark Ruffolo and Downey Jr. it's a long film but if you like murder mystery films you will love this.

Zodiac may be David Fincher's most underrated piece of work, with critics saying that "Fight club" and "Seven" are his best films, I can see why, because they are some of the best films of the 90s. However, I think Zodiac stands out from the rest of his work. It is packed with suspenseful scenes, including the one where Jake Gyllenhaal's character enters a suspect's basement, and we are feeling the same way he is. Scared to death. Another scene is where the news call the zodiac killer of "Sam" as he calls himself. The call contains "Sam" screaming and saying that he has "Headaches" and that he kills to "Stop the Headaches" And that was actually true. Disturbing. This film is very similar to "Seven" Also one of his best films. It has the same idea that there is a serial killer is going around the city. And honestly, Seven overshadows it. Zodiac is around 3 hours long, and it had me pinned to my seat. And I love the look of this film, as David Fincher makes it actually look like It was made in the 60s. He even goes to the level that actors had to wear the same clothing. However, I overall love this film, if I had a wish it would be more appreciated. The performances are great by Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey JR.

This movie opened my eyes to the dreamy, seducing world of filmography, after I watched this movie i engulfed myself into obsessing over ever film critics were buzzing about or had buzzed about. Now to the actual movie, Zodiac is a movie, no more of an experience that takes you through the real life's of Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal), Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr) and Dave Tocshi (Mark Ruffalo), and there willingness to crack the code and find the killer. I don't want to say anymore, and now all I have to say is if you call yourself a film lover or enthusiast you must see this movie.

I was lost in the movie, as long as it was playing, empathizing with all these characters, and having to keep reminding myself throughout that this really happened. In movies, generally, when something happens that hurts to watch, you can take the comfort of thinking that it is not real(my mom reminds when we're watching a movie together and i react to it strongly, which is often the case). The most sad part is the amount of their lives that these people would have spent in searching for him, in fear of their lives, giving up their comfortable state of existence? Just to come up empty? And after finally pinpointing him, after many years, to not be able to do anything about it? paul avery is the one real life character is grieve the most for. At any rate, this is a story of a few brave men who refused to give up in the face of ambiguity and emptiness, and still persevered anyway, always keeping their head in the job. For that, they have my utmost respect, whatever the result of that may or may not have been. This is one movie that you must watch that realistically portrays the story, is a well crafted work of art, and teaches you just what a good, hard-working american man is capable of doing if he just has a library to back him up!
