Zodiac - David Fincher (2007)

Zodiac
From David Fincher

IMDB

David Fincher is the director of Alien 3, Se7en, The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room....

I didn't see everything he did but I loved Seven and The Game.
Contrary to many people who loved this movie, I was a bit desapointed by Fight Club which I found quite predictable, I found out the issue very early in the movie so it killed a bit the surprise and well, just didnt think it was that brilliant (although yes a good movie)

So Zodiac is his new movie

Quote :

A serial killer in the San Francisco Bay Area taunts police with his letters and cryptic messages. We follow the investigators and reporters in this lightly fictionalized account of the true 1970's case as they search for the murderer, becoming obsessed with the case. Based on Robert Graysmith's book, the movie's focus is the lives and careers of the detectives and newspaper people

Contains Spoiler
Zodiac is a nice thriller, good suspense, I liked especially the beginning when we discovered the crimes and the methods the killer uses. That was really nice.
Then for 2h30 (quite a long movie), the movie gives the feeling that eventually we will find out something we dont expect, plenty of clues given which makes us wonder who out of all the characters is the killer. This was well done
But the end was quite desapointing because there is no real surprise, unfortunately the big moment where we could say "Öhhhhh that was him" doesn't happen. Instead the feeling I got was "jezzzz these 2 hours and a half for this.....", I gave all my energy trying to guess who he could be for nothing lol
Ok, this is based on a true story but then it was not necessary to make it that long

Conclusion: good movie with shity end

But because I'm very picky with Thrillers, most of you will probably love it



Trailer:

I've seen it, didn't care for it much.. Not my cup of movie I guess

I only like thrillers that:

a) have me sitting on the edge of my chair
b) are so bad they're funny

All the other thrillers should've never been made

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one then
This movie was indeed "not all that"

Indeed!

I must say that I should add a C...


c) are about some kind of evil conspiracy between an ancient warlord and his present day followers
