This movie is about three men who ruined their lives by obsessively chasing after a man they were never going to find. Serial killers usually--but not always--go on killing until they either die or become indifferent to murder as thrill.…

David Fincher’s policier is based largely on firsthand accounts from those directly involved in the case, including one of the victims who actually survived, and follows the Zodiac manhunt as it alternately grows hot and cold over the…

▶︎THE DIRECTOR IS a master at creating an atmosphere of dread and foreboding; but the movie is at heart a police procedural. There are horrific killings, there have to be, but not excessively gory and not dwelled on extensively. But the…

The film doesn't hold beck on its conclusion that Leigh Allen was the killer, but the way it gets there is exciting and suspenseful with several characters vying for one's attention. Its rather long (about to and half hours) but doesn't…

Great movie, based on true story, i do remember hearing about the zodiac killer growing up, i assumed he was caught, unbelievable, i was shocked. The struggle for investigators is real.

a pretty peremptory, and long, procedural until the last 30 minutes, when everything picks up, falls into place, and delivers, surprisingly, a pretty satisfying ending

Complete waste of time, do not recommend. If you're interested in a serial killer who was never caught, check out "From Hell" - that's 5 stars! Zodiac was hardly 1 star.

saw this on chestnut street. the personalities of the actors in this movie enlivened what must have been a dreary reality for those actually involved. so...the movie was entertaining beyond its merit as a whodunnit; at which, i believe,…

Voted at number 12 of BBC's list of "100 greatest films of the 21st Century," see link in Summary. Watched this eons ago and relatively tame versus current films of true crime murder mystery. Nonetheless, a unique historic local serial…

I remember the Zodiac killer and thought this movie brought the feeling of the times back well. Now I want to read the book!

Taught, well-acted, facinating ! ,.. although it does get to seem overlong.
"Based on a true story" means not trimed for conventional plot devices, ..or a comforting ending.
P.S. Kev's PICkS: If you like "Zodiac" ,.. check out the evin…

I liked it!
It was really entertaining. Jake Gyllenhall is great. So is Robert Downey Jr. 's. Great mistery!

Although the film is based on a true story, the lack of resolution and length of time period weakens it as a movie. Both Downey and Gyllenhall have great acting in places, but their parts are written inconsistently, so their good work is…
