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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

(Rewatch). A haunting film, with a memorable atmosphere and strong performances. Probably Fincher's greatest film since the beginning of the 21st century.

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.

A film of obsessions. That lady just would not let go of overalls. Bullit wanting his animal crackers. Donovan releasing Hurdy Gurdy Man to the delight of every budding serial killer.

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.
