Based on the wonderful novel, this film brilliantly tells the story of the unknown Zodiac killer, who operated in the late 60's and early 70's.You will easily lose a full night or afternoon with this movie, it's incredibly, it's engaging, dramatic, and captivating. I love how the time passes by on the film, everything changes accordingly, it's very well produced. At times it's very sinister, and creepy, but it's subtle, nothing is forced or heavy handed.The acting is terrific, Ruffalo and Downey are brilliant, a fresh faced Jake Gyllenhaal is arguably the one that steals the show.It really is a brilliant movie, I would recommend it highly. 9/10.

Engaging & suspenseful but it's too long - so it starts to drag around the midway point. I also think the ending is really anti-climatic - but then again I understand that it's based on a true story.

I felt that Zodiac was way too long. The plot was there (as its based on the true story of the Zodiac killer). But I just felt that some of the scenes could have been cut back on or taken out entirely. It moves too slow for my taste, especially in the first half.The movie almost seems split into two parts, the police trying to solve the murders, then jake gyllenhaals character trying to solve the murders. I found that the second half moved faster and was more intense and exciting. In the first half they focus too much on RDJs character.
