Fantastic work from Fincher the exploration of obsession is a great ride, slow but measured and at points incredibly tense this film is magnificent. The cast act as a great ensemble all putting fantastic performances particularly Gyllenhall, I highly recommend this feature

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!

Zodiac is a movie based on a true seventies story about the hunt for a serial killer. The true grit of this movie comes from the portraits of normal everyday people who are just losing it, bit by bit, while searching for clues who is this mysterious serial killer. The subtle soundtrack enhances this feeling of being lost in a maze with no end. The suspense isnt found in violence being comitted but in violence being left in the shadows.It is always spookier when you dont know who is attacking you.The director David Fincher (Seven) made a movie that creeps under your skin, but does so very slowly and sideways, with lots of really funny scenes in which the characters of Jake Gylenhaal and Robert Downey Jr, easily win you over with their unfortunate sink or swim charm. Well over 2 hours long, this movie feels like it could have been even longer with still masses of suspense around each new plot turn. A movie which gives me goosebumps writing about it, because the obsessive search by Jake Gylenhaal to find the serial killer is performed, photographed and directed with such excellence that this movie really creeped me out... And I loved every minute of it!
