One of the finest mystery-thrillers you're ever going to come across, David Fincher's Zodiac is a masterwork of meticulous research, painstaking craftsmanship & precision detailing which approaches the police-procedural sub-genre in an incredibly authentic manner, plus the level of accuracy it manages to maintain with the real-life investigative process turns it into an instant classic right away.
The story of Zodiac focuses on the manhunt for the notorious serial killer whose killing spree occurred around the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1960s to early 1970s & who used the alias "Zodiac" in his letters to newspapers, which also included ciphers. The film covers the life of investigators & reporters who become obsessed with the case in their search for the murderer.…

Paranoia thrives in the dewy mist of San Francisco while Evil wanders loose, and although Zodiac crafts traditional scares and deliberate suspense around its massive runtime, Fincher's masterpiece sends chills down the spine because it's true. David Fincher shoves the viewer into a maze with several beginnings and no ends, and the mystery arrives like a mailbox after a month of vacation.
Fincher has always had a knack for artificiality within intensely human stories, but in Zodiac, every character feels like a personal construct that lives outside the frame. Every actor takes their particular material and crafts something even more glorious out of already wondrous writing. As a result, the world of Zodiac has an immaculate contrast between sympathetic…
david fincher, jake gyllenhaal, robert downey jr. and mark ruffalo are all my dads. happy father's day to my four (4) parents
you know I defend David Fincher every time someone complains about how fucking long this movie is and how does he repay me? world war z 2? really can't trust anyone these days can you!
A fantastic police procedural! The passion, obsession and frustration felt by those whom were dedicated to solving this case was captured so eloquently on-screen that I literally felt as if I had walked in their shoes! A compelling and gut wrenching experience I won't soon forget!
I honestly feel those whose lives, marriages or careers were destroyed were ultimately unrecognized victims of Zodiac!
My one and only complaint is there is no Pay Off! Everything built up to an expected crescendo we never got to experience so yes the ending felt extremely anti climatic but we knew that going in now didn't we! So kudos to Fincher for keeping it real!
A huge all star cast featuring Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr., Anthony Edwards, Brian Cox, Dermot Mulroney, John Carroll Lynch!
Director David Fincher proves once again he is a force to be reckoned with!

"Hair was digitally added to the close-ups of Jake Gyllenhaal's knuckles as he draws or holds letters. David Fincher felt that Gyllenhaal's hands were too hairless and pretty."
Happy 10th anniversary to this movie and Jake Gyllenhaal's pretty hands
YOU GO JAKE YOU TELL THAT BABY-VOICE MARK RUFFALO WHO THAT KILLER IS AND BLESS UP WITH YOUR HAIRLESS HANDS AND YOUR CARTOON SKILLZ
I wasn't sure if I would like it, but I did. Fascinating how so many people didn't think to follow every possible clue, no matter how outlandish, nor put all the pieces together. No wonder it's still one of the greatest unsolved murder mysteries.
When obsession takes over to solve the mystery you can't go back. Zodiac is another one of David Fincher's masterpieces. This film is so well crafted. The script is tight, the cast is flawless, and the performances show impeccable restraint.
Zodiac is a meticulously made puzzle and one of the most thoroughly gripping and taut thrillers in recent years, thanks to the combination of a perfectly-cast ensemble and superb direction from Fincher. In a career filled with great films, this stands out as being his finest overall.
I watched Zodiac NOIR.
Which basically means the streaming service fucked up and played in black and white and might be better then color...
