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.

Confession time. I'm not proud of this, and wish it were not so... but I absolutely hate when a film is over two hours long. This probably isn't something you should admit on a film review website and I don't expect or even want cheers of support. When a film is 90 minutes long... my god. Heaven.

1:30:00 - I'll watch it no matter what.
1:45:00 - Tsk, fine.
2:00:00 - This better be fucking good.
2:00:01 - Forget it.

I was quite excited about Spiderman Homecoming until I heard about the runtime. Didn't bother going. Was Wonder Woman…

[2,5⭐️] Ik start met een bekentenis: 'Ik heb Zodiac nooit gezien... tot vandaag'. Na het ondermaatse Panic Room had ik mijn buik vol van Fincher en besloot in 2007 om deze te skippen en 10 jaar lang stond de film niet op mijn radar. Tot de heren Jimmy Van der Velde en Ricardo Gomez me aanspoorden om deze een kans te geven. Echter Zodiac is een 3 uur durende afdaling in mijn persoonlijke hel geworden. Ik weet nu wat het is om een existentiële crisis door te maken. Met meer dan 2000 films op de teller beschouw ik mezelf toch als een soort van kenner maar Zodiac brengt me in zulke mate in de war, dat ik zelfs begin te…
