Amazon.com:
Closer in spirit to a police procedural than a gory serial-killer flick, David Fincher's Zodiac provides a sleek, armrest-gripping re-invention of the crime film. It surveys the investigation of the Zodiac killings that terrorized the San Francisco Bay area in the late -60-early -70s; Zodiac not only killed people, but cultivated a Jack the Ripper aura by sending icky letters to the newspapers and daring readers to solve coded messages. But the film's focus isn't on the killer. We follow the reporters and detectives whose lives are taken over by the case, notably an addictive crime writer (a sartorially splendid Robert Downey Jr.), an awkward editorial cartoonist (Jake Gyllenhaal), and a hard-working cop (Mark Ruffalo). Fincher and his brilliant cinematographer Harris Savides are deft at capturing the period feel of the city, without laying on the seventies kitsch, and James Vanderbilt's script doles out its big moments to major and minor characters alike. Fincher's confidence is infectious; the movie glides through its myriad details with such dexterity that even the blind alleys and red herrings seem essential. The well-chosen cast includes unexpected people popping up all over: Anthony Edwards as a lunch-bucket homicide cop; Charles Fleischer as a mysterious suspect; Elias Koteas and Donal Logue as small-town policemen whose districts are hit by Zodiac; Chloe Sevigny as Gyllenhaal's sweet-natured wife; Brian Cox as the media-friendly lawyer Melvin Belli, so famous he once appeared on Star Trek; and the mighty John Carroll Lynch, as a supremely creepy suspect. The film is based on non-fiction books by Robert Graysmith (he's portrayed by Gyllenhaal), although Fincher and co. did extensive research on their own. The result is a propulsive whodunit without (thus far) an ending, but the uncertainty makes the film even more intriguing. --Robert Horton

When I saw this version of "Zodiac" in the budget bin, it was an impulse purchase. I'd seen the film in the theatre. The strange thing for me is that I remembered this as being an older film, like 2000 or so. Made last year, David Fincher directed this and was nominated for Best Director from Film Critics in Chicago and Toronto. Fincher's other films include "Panic Room," "Fight Club" & "Seven." One might expect a bloody thriller, but instead "Zodiac" is an intense drama centered on Robert ... Read More

Zodiac does an exceptional job of bringing the lunatic to the big screen.
The dude was nuts, no doubt!
I especially liked the first phone call at the end he says good byeeeeeeeeeee.............CREEPY!!!!!!!
Too bad they never caught the loser, if he's since passed away it's a pretty safe bet he's not in a very good place.
The pacing of the movie is spot on, and the film just reeks of atmosphere, something that's missing from most movies nowadays.
Just plain creepy.

I went in to this movie thinking I was going to see another serial-killer-as-evil-genius story. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Fincher had put together a fascinating tale of determination / obsessive dedication in the face of mounting terror. ZODIAC starts off w/ a bang, showing us the maniac in action. The murders themselves are dealt with in quick succession, leaving the majority of the film to decyphering Zodiac's codes, gathering evidence, and interviewing suspects. I love police procedurals ...

~In December 1968, police were called to the scene of a double homicide; no motive, no suspects, no witnesses. On July 4th, 1969, "he" struck again, but this time, one of the victims lived. The survivor's name was Mike Mageau, and he is now one of the technical advisors in this top-notch movie. The attack on Mageau, and the girl he wanted to one day marry, named Darlene Ferrin, comprise the first sequence in the film. Thusly, the the December attack isn't depicted. This is because the makers of "Zodiac" wisely ... Read More

I just wanted to add my two cents' worth regarding the HD DVD version of this film. In a way, I am sorry that this was one of the first Hi-Def discs that I purchased: sorry because it has the most jaw-droppingly gorgeous video quality I have yet seen. It makes even excellent transfers of other films look second-rate. This is the first film to be shot using almost exclusively the digital Thomson Viper Filmstream Camera and this disc was mastered using the original elements. It is like looking at life through ...
