Making this about where dedication meets obsession was a wise choice; it could so easily have been "just Fincher's lesser serial killer film". Between Oscar-worthy performers Ruffalo and Downey Jr. and a wonderful variety of character actors, he's garnered his best cast so far. The interrogation of Leigh is intense, the basement scene positively chilling. The long running time is essential because it helps to convey the procedural nature of crime solving. Holds up really well on repeat viewing.

juntakinte99 | 100 97th |
Director David Fincher is so ahead of the curve that he made a true crime saga a decade before it was fashionable. Zodiac includes his Greatest Hits--including a hyper focused individual aiming for a goal that only they can understand. And his love of New Hollywood Cinema shines; including the All The President's Men newsroom, 70's Paramount logo, and David Shire jazz piano score. It's an amazingly well-made film, although I'm not sure the unresolved mystery makes it a fun crowd-pleasing movie.

BeeDub | 95 91st |
Enthralling, absorbing procedural. Evokes its time and place so well I felt I'd lived in 1970s San Francisco for 3 hours. Skillfully distills an incredibly complex investigation into a coherent narrative, leading to an unconventional yet satisfying ending. A masterpiece.

Spunkie | 70 84th |
Nothing like I expected, there is no need to judge Zodiac on any special expectations. The characters are not shallow, nowhere extraordinary, but they are quite consistent and well acted. Fincher takes his time in this one, we are not forcefully driven into murder mystery, infact most of the time we are not interested in who the murderer and what his motive is. The movie prevails in setting the pace, period portrayal and its subtle use of CGI composites.

overrated | 98 99th |
One of the few films that has eaten away at me for a long time after watching in the cinema. Fincher delivers up a methodical investigation that is as chilling (the sound of endless telephones in an office now creeps me out) as it is ambitious in scope - in essence it's more about the obsession with truth & narratives rather than the murders themselves. Some may find this opaque and meandering, I was riveted the whole way through. Not only is this Fincher's best, it's in the top 5 of the 2000's.

Leonardis | 94 80th |
Very smart and well made mystery movie. Fincher proves to be one of the greatest directors working today once again with Zodiac, a well-crafted, smartly written, if not just a little long piece of film history from the 2000's. Only drags a little bit really. Worth one watch.

This film deserved to be a huge hit. It deserved Oscars. I am convinced that time will show that this film, not Fight Club, is David Fincher's masterpiece. Fantastic performances (this film got me back on RDJ's team long before Iron Man) and you can tell the crew really did their research. I love the creepily shot night scenes and the subtle costuming and set designs that illustrate the passage of time.

I think I can safely say I consider this Fincher's best work. It's suspenseful without being overbearing and unbelievably entertaining, even when you know the outcome of the film. Gyllenhaal has the personality of a odd and socially outcast person down to perfection. Robert Downey Jr. is certainly on a career revival as his performance in this is fantastic as well. A definite must for a Fincher fan, a suspense fan or someone that likes films "based on real events" to actually feel real.

Filligan | 88 72nd |
This film demands you pay attention through its 2 hr. 40 min. run so that you can keep up with it, but doing so certainly rewards the viewer. Convoluted but captivating, Fincher is still a master at drawing you in and not releasing you until the credits. The thrills, though few, are really pulse-pounding and Downey Jr. is absolutely wonderful.

terrymac | 81 87th |
An impeccably made and cast procedural drama, with a couple of nasty moments to pique the interest. It was long, but didn't feel overlong. Probably raised more questions than answers for me, and it really reminded me of another similar film about the Zodiac I'd seen a while ago (can't remember which one), but I'd probably watch this one again. Recommended.

Nathan S | 5 93rd |
It may not correctly be called a horror film, per se, but this movie terrifies me. It's a deep dive down the rabbit hole; of an unknown but all-consuming force of depravity, of compulsion, obsession, paranoia. An engrossing balance struck between hard case history procedural and moody dramatization. The attention to detail never falters even beneath the breadth of its wide sprawl. There's so much to digest in this three hours, it's easy to think a little longer still might have been even better.

Mentaculus | 89 88th |
Less about what compels a man to do evil, and more about what compels another man to decipher the compulsion. The beauty is, you're brought along with it, making you complicit in the protagonists' downfall. With great performances, fantastic distancing cinematography and a pitch-perfect setting (mutton chops!), this is the only 2.5 hour film in recent memory that didn't have me drifting.

willofgaia | 85 58th |
Fantastically eerie and always tense, this film features three fantastic performances from the leading actors. Fincher wisely concentrates on the details and not the gore, and makes a film far scarier and frightening than any "horror" film in the last few years.

Alex Watkins | 5 91st |
One of the most sprawling films I've seen. The continually building mountain of evidence and massive cast of characters reminds me of JFK, though with less of a hurtling intensity (at least until the film's final sequences). Despite its somewhat workmanlike portrayal of police investigation, this has some of the most intense and creepy scenes I've seen in any thriller. Fincher took a risk with this but it payed off big time.

evrana | 81 75th |
Fincher excels in creating a claustrophobic feeling that is unrelated with an enclosed space. The first hour or so was really dynamite; I really enjoyed the neurotic energy of Graysmith character and Downey Jr. has its own way of interpreting arrogance. Then as usual for true stories it petered out a bit; but all in all it was a great timepiece and the Zodiac phenomenon is worth to be studied a bit; it was maybe one of the first manifestations of media hype.

Farzan | 59 44th |
A pretty fantastic mystery early on, but eventually, it just begins to drag on and on. One thing that really pissed me off about Zodiac was how often they would tell you '2 1/2 years later' and '23 years later.' It honestly felt like the case of the Zodiac took about a century.

An ethralling, entertaining, and realistic look at one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in this country's history. Downey and Gyllenhaal both give amazing performances, and the multiple storylines mostly succeed in showing us the many different theories and perceptions about the Zodiac killer. Too bad the police story isn't nearly as interesting as the story involving the reporters or the cartoonist.

amerigo | 74 34th |
How does this film warrant so much praise? How did the BBC decide that this was the 12th best film of the 21st century!? All it is is standard-fare true crime drama that's half a step away from a bland, overlong documentary. Yes, it was well-acted but Fincher's unwavering commitment to realism makes watching this flick little different from consuming a whole damn textbook on an increasingly obscure subject.

Some excellent performances (especially by Downey and Ruffalo) in a generally well done investigation of an investigation. Gyllenhaal's protagonist is perhaps not as intriguing as intended, but the movie mostly holds the viewer's interest for the duration of its lengthy running time, gradually building a certain amount of tension. Effective without being astounding.

This movie, quite simply, has absolutely everything. Runs for nearly 3 hours but holds you tight until the very end. You're not bored for a single second. Filled with interesting characters, the plot works on an vast amount of levels and the casting and acting is nothing short of genius. I take my hat off for Mr Fincher and congratulate everyone involved.

Ytadel | 8 93rd |
A comprehensive, highly engaging crime drama. Sure, it's convoluted and offers plenty of loose and dead ends which can occasionally frustrate, but that's like a real crime investigation. There's very little in the way of horror or thrills here, so I can see how it failed to connect with the drooling segment of middle America, but it's a fascinating (and pretty thorough) work with a particularly stellar turn from Robert Downey Jr.

TheRealJ-Ro | 95 97th |
The Zodiac case is one of the most intriguing psychological cases in U.S. criminological history. The complex intricacies which the killer breaks down into such simple actions are truly fantastic. Robert Graysmith's life is both built up and destroyed by the man who seems to be able to control his mind and moods at will. Superbly acted all around (especially Gyllenhaal & Downey, Jr.), perfectly cast, excellently shot, with writing that was gripping and exciting. Zodiac is nearly a perfect film.

Turns from a typical murder mystery to a story of unfulfilled obsession. Incredibly well made, tense, strongly acted, and filmed with a dark aesthetic that complements the plot. However, if I'm being 100% honest, I have to say I slightly prefer the conclusive justice that Dirty Harry delivers.

So here's my new movie idea. Strange murders start happening in Hollywood. One day a film buff notices that seemingly unrelated murders in the paper have a connection, they can loosely be tied to movies. He takes it to the cops and they start pouring over unsolved murders and find a bunch that fit into this pattern. In the end the murderer is David Fincher and he gives a super creepy monologue about how his experiments are what made him such a great serial killer film maker. Give me my Oscar.

MartinTeller | 80 66th |
Fincher's best film since Se7en. I get the feeling that Gyllenhall plays it a little quirkier than he needs to, but it works. You get drawn into his obsession. Fincher's most interesting touch is the way he amps up the background noise, which adds a layer of uneasiness (although it occasionally makes the dialogue difficult to hear). Overall, it's a little longer than it needs to be, and it's not a masterpiece or anything. But it's quite engaging, well-constructed, and makes good use of its cast.

DavidKahane | 95 92nd |
Fincher has always filled the screen with impressive visuals, but I'd argue this represents the first time he's backed it up with genuinely substantive, intelligent, committed storytelling. Zodiac is ambitious and gripping, serious without being self-important, and inspired in its intellectual commitment. The tone and tenor are exactly right and Fincher lathers the screen in meticulous period details that enhance the sense of time and place. This is a great film.

Felt like it would never end... I suppose it would've been a little more satisfying if I did not know the outcome going in, or if there would've been some kind of climax. All in all, very mediocre. The only interesting part of the movie was Downey Jr's character.

God, this movie is engaging. I never lost interest and didn't realize until after that it comes in at just under three hours. Told like an episode of Law and Order meets Se7en, it was right up my alley. The acting, superb, even from bit players. Too good to miss.

twincinema | 85 85th |
I love films like this, because it's a somewhat fictionalized telling of a true story. The film clearly believes a specific person is the Zodiac killer, and it does shape my own view of who I think the person is, even if it's probably not that person. But the film doesn't present any other option, it's OBVIOUSLY that person. I don't know where I was going with this.

TedDedon | 68 38th |
Entertaining movie but ridiculously flawed. Feels like two movies loosely connected together. The first half of the movie is unengaging at all and the second half tries to be way more intense than it actually is. Could have been great but winds up barely, if at all, scraping merely good.

I read the book back in the day, and I remember simultaneously thinking it was either the shitty dildo guy or just some dude taking credit for unrelated murders he didn't actually commit. Actually, I just wanted to type "shitty dildo guy". It's weird that I held that in my head for so long. The movie was pretty good in that it wasn't overly credulous about shitty dildo guy being the killer. I mean, it was a little credulous. but it worked for dramatic purposes. Shitty dildo guy.

Brilliant follow up to the tepid Panic Room, director Fincher, writer Vanderbilt, and the cast recreate an unsolved crime...And those who are destroyed in its wake. Somewhat harmed by its release date shortly after the new year, the film was shunned by the Oscars. Of course, then again, the Oscars are shite anymore.

I'm not one of those assholes who obsesses over serial killers so I can seem dark and intense, but this was an excellent serial killer film. Jake Gyllenhal poring and sweating over mountains of tedious files, graphics, and paperwork somehow yields a fascinating film. Who knew?

This film starts out interesting, but fails completely in the middle. It goes on, and on and nothing interesting happens. It's way too long (almost 3 hours!) Only the last bit is mildly interesting (if you're still awake). I gave Downey Jr one last shot (after Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), but he's defintely not one of my favourite actors. I'll stay away from his films. I guess this movie is interesting if you know/experienced the time when the zodiac killer was active. Otherwise, stay away...

fincher knows how to tell a story. despite its long running time. the movie manages to keep the attention till the end, which is a remarkable feat. The plot gradually gets out of hand, and leaves a lot of loose ends here and there, but that is actually the essence of the story. it keeps you in the limbo, guessing for hours on a case that was never solved. This is not se7en, nor fight club, but in a sense it's more mature and subtle.

What sort of ruined this for me was the fact that they focused on the red herring of the case for at least a half hour and made that the most intense part. I felt kind of cheated when that was all for nothing. If it was Arthur Lee Allen the whole time then why did they emphasize the projectionist and that "Rick" guy so much if it was just a false lead all along? Oh that's right, because they needed to have a creepy basement scene with an eccentric man and a protagonist running for his life.

It is long but i didn't notice the length when i was watching it, i was entertained throughout. Perhaps not knowing the outcome of the real events helped my enjoyment of the film because i was guessing who Zodiac was the whole time. There was also a lot of quality acting taking place here. Very solid all around.

Fincher revisits the serial killer genre, but ventures down a more realistically somber road than he did with Seven. Though it may be less "pure" than Seven it offers a refreshing take on the agonizingly long, unrewarding and loose-ended hunt for a unknown serial killers.

(spoilers) I liked learning all over again about the Zodiac from the perspective of this film. Such an interesting case, but with no real climax (considering he was never caught) it definitely teeters off. Not really the movies fault, but still the subject material makes for a lackluster ending where we all end up feeling just as empty as the characters in the movie.

It has every upside that fincher's directing can offer, yet the material does not allow it to be more than an enhanced documentary. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, if it could offer more than clichéd murder routines and some semi-interesting characters poking around in the dark.

I find much of this kind of unremarkable. Sure it's an interesting story, but the film is kind of painstaking until Gyllenhaal's character becomes obsessed and the film picks up a bit. I know it's based on a book, but if I wanted an extensive case history, I would rather it come from a documentary.

Too long? Nah, could've used another hour-I mean, that's how long I spent googling the Zodiac afterwards anyways. It's that sort of mystery-complex, endless, with countless players and procedures to dissect, and the film with its excellent technique, turns, and script (the time jumps feel natural; the third-act lens shift to Graysmith works well; Avery's arc feels like it's cut short though) captures it all with a remarkable sense of cohesion (a couple loose threads along the way) and momentum.

Corbad | 65 43rd |
Feels even longer than its 150 minutes, like two films back-to-back, and the second film is deep in the shadow of the first: Graysmith's self-insert obsession simply isn't as interesting as the original investigation. While both films are polished and skillfully crafted, the final hour really drags and I have to wonder if the narrative conceit of the desperate writer is the mistake.

David Fincher takes the tale of the Zodiac Killer and stretches it to the point of tedium but it is still too engaging to notice. The casting is superb as everyone so effortlessly slips into their characters. The pace is hypnotic and it sucks you into this dark underworld which exists right before us. My only complaint is that the plot occasionally loses momentum but this is a small complaint.

The rhythm isn't particularly high, and the character's presence is unbalanced.

Well acted and nice tension build ups, but also not flawless. Sometimes it's unclear who the main character is, is it Jake Gyllenhaal, RD Jr, Mark Ruffalo? Normally I don't have a problem with multiple characters, but in zodiac the 1st and last part seem to be for Jake, 2nd RD Jr & somewhere in the middle you have Mark Ruffalo getting his alone (screen)time. Another problem for me was the time frame. Zodiac tells a story that streches 2decades, but you never get the feeling of time passing by.

David Fincher leaves his bag of stylistic tricks behind, and manages to create a nearly three-hour film, composed entirely of talking heads and completely devoid of any killings in the second half of the runtime, that is entirely riveting, with a constant sense of dread and danger pervading the place.

A near great film that gets hunkered down in its effort to be too comprehensive in chronicling the Zodiac murders. It's not until about the second half that the narrative starts gathering focus and momentum when Gyllenhaal, as Graysmith, steps up to the plate to solve the case. Despite the all-star cast, only Downey Jr. turns in a performance worth mentioning. Though the cinematography is eerie and beautiful, it does little to help Fincher in establishing a consisent tone for the film.

This film haunts and fascinates me as an exploration of a serial killer and a young reporter obsessed by finding him. You will never listen to Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" in quite the same way. Robert Downer Jr. as an older cynical reporter plays off the naive Jake Gyllenhaal quite successfully, though Downey's scenes are relatively brief. I adore Mark Ruffalo as the cop tasked with tracking the Zodiac Killer. More films need a Mark Ruffalo in them.

Fincher's attention to detail of the late 60s and early 70s is the standout point in Zodiac. From the attire to the music, Fincher tries to immerse the viewer into an otherwise monotonous and dull story. A rather, lengthy film that feels like two disjointed parts trying seamlessly blending as a whole. The former half, grows tiresome and uninteresting, whereas, the latter half, tries to recover lost ground and build up steam but forgets that the train has left already.

So elegant, creepy and fascinating in every possible way. Perfect portrait of cumulative obsession through journalism, detective work and cinephilia, scrapped, scattered information, deceiving clues, our universal enchantment with horrors of mankind -- we all think they ultimately mean something, but they all end up being futile, somewhat empty, vain, born out of paranoid, their outcome is inconclusive. All is deception. Serial killer folklore shot with the austerity of a procedural report.

As the ultimate of procedural thrillers, Zodiac is slow burn.

As a film, Zodiac is at the top of its craft, expertly directed by Fincher and with every intricate detail of the long investigation detailed. That may be where the movie gets derailed as entertainment, as it does drag at parts as Fincher lingers on some of the investigation's minutia. Gylenhaal and Downey Jr. hold a lot of the film together with their twin spirals into obsession with the case, but I do feel the film could have benefited from some shaving in editing.

It is slow-moving at times yet somehow still in a bit of a rush to cram all the facts in (for instance, the investigation's obsessive nature is an interesting side of the movie but never gets to sink in as much as it could). But it's also well-directed, intriguing and boosted by a very good cast. The absence of any redeeming finale, given that Zodiac's identity remains unknown in real life, is arguably its Achilles heel, although the tense Marshall/Vaughn subplot does act in lieu of a crescendo.

One of a kind in the way it examines a AMERICAN obsession with violence, celebrity and the way media intersect with it. How American media mythologizes violence to a point where it doesn’t even matter if the zodiac is a real person they’re already making movies. each character has a downfall beset by the zodiac even if they don’t see it. Wouldn’t be obsession if you could see the downfall. The movie aesthetically intertwined with the history of crime and Bay Area movies/fincher’s own obsessions.

The problem with this story is that just about everybody; the cops, even the perp, had lost all interest in it way before the 20yrs time frame depicted. Its only the obsession of a few, and the strange ciphers involved, that make it anything other than a routine story of a few unsolved murders. It is to Finchers credit that he is able to make a 2.5hr film out of this, which is gripping, and intiquing. The audio let the film down, as I struggled to hear what was being said, but thats not unique!

For a while I thought it was an unfocused behemoth of a film, but after that while, it dawned on me that the film was less about the Zodiac Killer and more about how he killed several hobbyists' and investigators' careers, wills, and lives with the obsession his elusive and perhaps overall lucky nature wrought. A bit long, but really really good.

As the film proceeds the main character's obsession just starts to feel so helpless and hopeless, as a look at uncontrollable obsession it is excellent and the film manages to remain very engaging even as the killings subside and the trail of clues starts to dry up. It's sprawling but that's the point, and the film manages to work in quite a bit of comedy (the second killing in particular is creepy as hell yet very darkly comic) and tension in to the tale. Fincher should make more like this.

Zodiac is another smart, engaging and impressively well made thriller from David Fincher. As expected the overall direction is flawless, the cinematography & lighting is stunning and the script is smartly written. Also the performances throughout are impressive with Gylenhaal, Ruffalo & Downey Jr. the most notable standouts. My only minor criticism is there are pacing issues, but I suppose that's a reflection of the amount of time that the real life and still unsolved mystery has spanned across.

(Viewed on 13/12/13):Zodiac is an exceptionally crafted film, but the film has nothing substantial to say about Graysmith's obsession or how it impacted his personal life; and it isn't about the elusiveness of truth either because the killer's existence is treated as a given. Just what is it about then? A man's relentless pursuit of a ghost like figure who ruthlessly taunts his pursuers. Fincher's recreation of a specific time and place, of a city gripped by fear, is the obvious highlight.

I'm not an expert but I'd guess this is probably the best film that can be made of this topic. Direction, screenplay, performances...all = never below V high level professional & sometimes excellent. Morally respectable & respectful (as far as I know) of real life case & people. THAT is it's drawback as ENTERTAINMENT: it cannot, for me, totally capture or evoke desire 4 repeat viewings. There cannot be much fear/tension or resolution. So, I deeply admire but least enjoy this 1 of Fincher's films

Zodiac is probably the slowest build of all David Fincher's films. Which can be off putting. It benefits from an amazing 1970s atmosphere and a thrilling fact based story. It can be hard to follow on occasion. But for those who are paying attention, the payoff is quiet but extremely effective.

The movie is really long, slow and could use some action to spice it up or, really, anything but the boredom they chose. But the story is good enough for me to consider it an "alright" movie.

Great cast with a dull story that drags and drags, and then it's over. There isn't much else to say. The first 20 minutes are done very well, particularly with how the murder scenes are handled, but it quickly nosedives and never redeems itself. Clocking in at 2.5 hours is absurd. There isn't nearly enough material to fill the space. It loses focus and gets distracted on a continuous loop. I get that the film is trying to elicit the frustration, but that doesn't make for an entertaining film.

A great cast and good story. It slows down a bit towards the end and could be 30 -45 mins shorter, but entertaining nonetheless.

Suspenseful throughout the movie. The character of R. Downey Jr. could have had a more prominent role in the second half.

Very good movie in the mystery genre. based on a series of true events. which makes the ending a bit disappointing.

Hard to make such admirable achievement with a dead-ended murderer story.
