The true story behind the murders that many crime scholars believe to be the most perplexing series of unsolved crimes in modern history comes to the screen in chilling detail as Fight Club and Seven director David Fincher steps behind the camera to tell the mysterious tale of the infamous Zodiac killer. A relentless serial killer is stalking the streets of the San Francisco Bay Area, leaving citizens locked into a constant state of panic and baffled authorities scrambling for clues. Though the killer sadistically mocks the detectives by leaving a series of perplexing ciphers and menacing letters at the crime scenes, the investigation quickly flat-lines when none of the evidence yields any solid leads. As two detectives remain steadfast in their devotion to bringing the elusive killer to justice, they soon find that the madman has control not only over their careers, but their very lives as well.
A cartoonist teams up with an ace reporter and a law enforcement officer to track down an elusive serial killer.

Fine filmZodiac is a very good film I highly recommend it. Out of the two films I've seen about the Zodiac killer "The Zodiac" and "Zodiac" both good films I'd have to give this one the hand cause this one is not only more accurate but more entertaining as well..Score: 5/5
I don't get the negative reviewsThis movie was amazing. The constant guessing that I had to do made the movie very suspenseful. *spoiler* he doesn't get caught in the end which is the point, because it is a true story.Score: 5/5
I'm not Paul Avery or Roger Ebert, but here is my critiqueComing into this film I knew that the director David Fincher, had done titanic amounts of research for this film. So as I began to watch it, I knew it would be solid and accurate. It was an atmospheric look into a sadistic rampage that plagued a city and it is told form the viewpoint of both the newspaper (who receive the ciphers) and the cops (who investigate them). At two and-a-half hours its long, but it only serves the movie more, making in engrossing and haunting. It is a harrowing, even haunting movie about obsession and fear, but in the end it is really about this man who committed these acts. Seeing what he did and knowing someone was at the receving end; that is truly terrifying. This is a masterpiece, detailed (but not 'Hollywood perfectionism') and realistic. No cheap tricks, no gimmicks, only a story, a real story..Score: 5/5
Nice thrillerI personally loved the first hour of the movie. It was very fast paced and it showed just how obsessed one could get when pursuing evil. A Captain Ahab/ Moby Dick movie, if you will. Unfortunately as the movie progresses it also slows down considerably, though there are scenes that are still genuinely frightening..Score: 3/5

Why are you reading this? Go watch it!In this thrilling mystery on finding the Zodiac killer, there's really nothing that I could find that was flawed. Other than the fact that the actual killer was never really brought to justice due to unfortunate circumstances. But hey, that's not movie's fault! Every single actor that was in the movie portrayed their role as if they were really the person they were playing to be. David Fincher is just one of those directors you can't miss out on, except for that once Alien abomination that he made. Yuck! Anyways great film and I most definitely recommend it! Two thumbs up..Score: 5/5
OkI have a hard time reviewing such movies as this is not my kind of fare really, but yet it was done well. From a movie-making angle, it’s a 4 or 5 star movie. If you’re up for this kind of material, you’re gonna love this movie. I was forced to watch this with my family and while I could appreciate that it was a well crafted movie, I don’t care much for storylines such as this (wacko killer and cops chasing) and doubly so when it’s a true story. For example, I appreciate the storytelling and movie-craft of Silence of the Lambs, but I really don’t care for that kind of story. There’s enough wacked-out murder and violence in the world that I don’t tend to want to watch a movie where that is the focus of the story. So, if you liked Silence of the Lambs, I think you’d likely love this. I’m giving it 4 stars because I shouldn’t penalize it for what I don’t like - I think it was a 4 or 5 star crafted movie..Score: 4/5

5 stars, nothing lessThis movie takes it's time. Unlike other films of this genre it tells you in detail the facts so you can solve the mystery alongside the leading characters. Since this film takes place over a period of 20 years you actually see cities built up around the plot line's melodic tempo. The murders are authentic and seem very natural unlike most horror films. The casting is perfect for this feature and you may not like the decline of characters over time but it's a true story and you can't escape truth no matter how much you don't like it. Each scene represents an important date to the film's plot line and each scene is it's own clue to the murderer. Soundtrack is amazing, sampling from Marvin Gaye to Santana. Obviously don't rent this if you can't watch a film that's over 2 hours. Disregard all past negative reviews because these people don't understand true film. This is as (grusome) said "The best true crime story ever.".Score: 5/5
The best true crime movie everI do not know what is wrong with the people who have previously reviewed this film perhaps because it does not have huge explosions or no plot line.unlike them i thought this movie was exceptional well put together and thought out and i enjoy long movies i dunno what the problem with that is. robert downey jr is the best part of the movie as paul avery but all in all the whole cast is excellent and david fincher did an excellent job as well..Score: 5/5

One of the best of 2007This is on my top five movies list for 2007 with "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford", "Juno", "No Country for Old Men", and "There will be blood". This movie is NOT TOO LONG; some people just prefer an *easier* movie going experience. Too bad it wasn't available for rent so you could see for yourself without the commitment of buying right away, but if you decide to buy I think it is definatley worth it. It is also too bad it isn’t available in HD..Score: 5/5
Seriously? Seriously!?!??Okay, I didn't go into this movie expecting explosions or car chases, I expect a good thriller that would intrigue me. Instead i got a 2 and a half hour piece of Garbage. I don't car what the actual case went like, you can have a movie peak in excitement 1 hour in and the fizzle out from there. All the actors were great not their faults, just the story was garbage..Score: 1/5
