Zodiac
The Movie Man - wrote on 05/13/09
Zodiac is a well told true story that is just tremendous on every level. The film is well crafted with wonderful direction by David Fincher and a great screenplay by James Vanderbilt, based on Robert Graysmiths (Gyllenhaals Character) bestseller, and a cast that does a slendid job. Jake Gyllenhaal is a wonderful actor and his performance here shows just why, he is outstanding. Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Edwards, John Carroll Lynch and Charles Fleischer are all outstanding just the same. This film grabs your attention and doesn't let go, even at running over two and a half hours. The Murder scenes are chilling. The period detail is wonderful and the score is soaring. A truely great film. Quite possibly Finchers best film.
