ReviewZodiac
2007
I went into this film not knowing anything about the story or whether it was based on a real case file or not. All that I knew was that it went for 2hrs and 37mins and I'd best plan my pre-movie toilet break wisely. This was a great film and I was captivated most of the time. Like most crime movies of the genre (you could really tell it was made by the same guy who did Se7en) you find things out slowly along the way, and the police act only as fast as our recognition skills can handle, so you feel like you're really solving it yourself. I'd pay $9 on tightarse Tuesday any week to feel like I'm an intelligent crime solver.
Packed with name actors and some memorable performances, I was really impressed with the overall feel of the movie. A bit gruesome in parts and they rely on tense scenes rather than people jumping out from behind doorways for cheap cinema thrills. The costumes/props of the period (60s and 70s mainly) was done really well, except for Jake Gyllenhaal's hairdo which didn't change over the course of 3 decades (kinda like mine!).
