ZODIAC David Fincher (Seven) 2007 *** A very complicated film plot-wise and long: 160 mins. True story, about a 60s serial killer in San Francisco. But the killings take place over several areas over many years and investigated by several police depts. So the plot, though it starts at the beginning and moves forward consecutively, jumps from person to person, investigator to investigator and jumps from time point to time point, and the dialogue is very quick. Eventually the story gets picked up by Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) who is a cartoonist on the San Francisco Chronicle (at same time as A Maupin works there) – he is an eccentric who becomes obsessed with the mystery and researches the crime and writes a book (all true). I think part of the problem with this film is, because the plot isn’t fiction, it doesn’t develop or resolve itself and some of the characters just disappear as time passes and they move off the investigation. The film starts off pretty horrifically, then becomes more of a tension thriller but peters out into a tale with no threat at all. A very strange film. David Shire wrote the film score ( also wrote the score for the “Taking of Pelham one two three”, was Streisand’s pianist and arranged and conducted “Color Me Barbra” and “The Belle of Fourteenth Street” - there’s eclecticism for you!). Robert Downey Junior is also in this film playing himself again. Mark Ruffalo is an excellent Inspector Toschi. Gyllenhaal as always is brilliant.Read full review
Amazing film and great quality dvd! I've watched this film 5 times in a week, and I still want to watch again right now! One of the most engaging films I've ever watched. I watched a couple of documentaries on the zodiac before I watched the film. It really helped me to be a part of the film!
