Moira I Good thriller, fine cast Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review David S This is the Zodiac speaking. David Fincher is the GOAT. This movie has excellent cinematography with an unsettling atmosphere, depicting real horror at times. The slow-burn pacing of Zodiac is great at keeping you engaged during its 2-hour-and-37-minute runtime. This movie also offers great character development. The costume design is outstanding, using testimony from Mike Mageau (the only person to survive the Zodiac killer), police reports, and crime scene photos to stay accurate to real-life events. The soundtrack and score are amazing. This film has outstanding, meticulous attention to detail. The set design is great, immersing you in the San Francisco Bay Area. The performances are fantastic, especially from Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr., and Jake Gyllenhaal. The story is extremely captivating and well-written, making it one of the most accurate “based on true events” movies ever. This proves that David Fincher is a great director. Remember, the Zodiac killer was never officially caught, so stay watchful—he could be out there right now. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Mate P Zodiac tells a mind-blowing true story about a serial killer. It's a well-written and directed movie. The protagonists are very enjoyable, relatable or realistic. In the first half of the film the mystery is great, I was guessing who the killer was and every other 5 minutes I thought of somebody else, but after a while it was obvious who it was. Maybe it was a little too obvious and that's why I thought it would be somebody else. That's probably why I was a little underwhelmed at the end. The dialogues were very realistic and flawless. So the writing was amazing, but I was expecting a litlle biz more mystery. The direction is obviously amazing, the cinematography was excellent and the editing was great, even though the pacing wasn't. I think it would have benefitted the movie, if it was a little less longer. The acting performances were amazing, I saw characters not the film stars, who played them. Zodiac is a true story and that is unbelievable, and David Fincher made an amazing movie about it, but to be honest I expected a little bit more mystery. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Zodiac - 10/10. David Fincher is a director of detail. His film's are meticulous and precise, with great editing and pacing. His films have been celebrated and successful, but the one film that seemed to not gross a big profit was Zodiac. Ironically though, I, along with many film buffs, consider Zodiac to be his strongest film in his career. The film was highly acclaimed when it came out, but has gained more and more fans over the years, with a resurgence of popularity thanks to Fincher's similarly toned series Mindhunter. What makes this film so amazing is the performances and production on this film. There's tons of underrated performances in this film (to name a few: Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr, Anthony Edwards, Chloe Sevigny, and John Carroll Lynch). Everyone has a time spanning character arc in this film. We start the characters off at one stage and see how the Zodiac killer's killings and taunting transform their respective lives. Its actually a huge strength in this film, as these are characters that we begin to care about and wonder how much this unknown man's actions are threatening their lives and mental states. The film's production values are also incredible. The way that Fincher captures post 70s California is marvellous. We are transported to that era, and feel like everything and anything from that time is super authentic. He also does an incredible job of building tension and suspense. This not like his previous killer film (Se7en), where its more focused on the killings. For the first hour, we see what the killer does but the rest of the film gives us this uneasy and super frustrating feeling of having to witness the characters fumble through the case and nearly catch the culprit. The movie acts more like a drama than a horror film, and I think that's why it might have done not so great at the box office. If you're into highly detailed crime dramas and have never seen Zodiac, then this epic is definitely for you! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review David H This is a well-made movie as the critics have said the only problem with it is that whether anyone knows it or not it glorifies evil Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Fabrícia F Um épico do suspense cinematográfico baseado em fatos reais que acompanha a experiência de investigação de dois jornalistas na tentativa de desvendarem a identidade do assassino do Zodíaco. Mesmo sem sucesso, seu trabalho ensina o valor da determinação e coragem mesmo com a possibilidade de irresolução do caso.
