Movie Reviews of Zodiac [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Long, but worth it
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie starts out a bit grisly, with a couple of random murders, then transforms into a journalist/detective flic. It has plenty of twists and turns (as expected), but because it is based upon a true story, the ending is somewhat anticlimactic.Movie Review: Overlong and depressingly formulaic
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
People say great things about Zodiac but they're apparently talking about a different film than the middling film I saw: after an energetic first half in which the threat of the Zodiac killer keeps the proceedings tense and quick-moving, the film segues into a cliched take on obsession, with all the usual beats in place (even Chloe Sevigny can't do anything with the nagging-wife-who-doesn't-realize-a-man's-gotta-do-what-a-man's-gotta-go role) and a ending that doesn't conclude the film as much as just let it peter out.
2.5/4
Movie Review: Dramatized documentary
Summary: 3 Stars
Zodiac was a great movie if you come at it with the right expectation. It's sort of a dramatized documentary about the investigation of the Zodiac Killer. The events in the film stick pretty closely to what we know of the case. Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey do a great job as the lead actors. If you are at all interested in the case then give the movie a shot.
Just don't go in expecting a scripted action movie - this story ends like it did in reality.
