Zodiac is an edge-of-your-seat thriller that knows exactly when to be slow and when to pick up the pace. Director David Fincher delivers what he was admired for in movies like Se7en and Fight Club (and more recently Gone Girl), and that is an intelligent, not necessarily satisfactory, gripping film. The ensemble cast including a surprisingly fitting Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr. gives a great performance that helps embody the true-life mystery around San Francisco's Zodiac killer. Fans of the series True Detective will love this film.
Synopsis
The Zodiac murders cause the lives of Paul Avery, David Toschi and Robert Graysmith to intersect.
Fincher is the god of captivating, perfectly paced narration. Thriller which is over 2.5 hours long? Yes, he made it work somehow.
Just watched; a little graphic but an all around amazing thriller.
