I rented this on dvd some 7 months ago, when i heard it was out on bluray i had to buy it, its one of them thrillers that sends shivers up your spine (mine anyway) even more so than horror movies which to me are just plain comedy with gore. This film takes you on a journey to find Zodiac and your basically on the edge of your seat like "who the hell is he I WANNA KNOW"

My favourite movie of all time is Se7en and Fincher has done it again!

BUY IT!

Don't like long films or films without gratuitious scenes in it - back off and buy something else. Love fincher, good filmmaking, great dialogue from amazing performers and quality like never before then buy it and love it.

I knew very little about the real life story of the Zodiac killer when I saw this film in San Francisco. It was a strange feeling walking back to my hotel past the San Francisco Chronicle building where much of the story takes place.

This film's observations of the case take a look the case of this killer from the view of Gyllenhaal, who plays sleuth detective whilst working in a junior role at the new papers office.
I found the story fascinating but there are so many details and thus many VERY long dialogue scenes, so that there were times I found myself looking at my watch wondering when the conclusion to the story would come?

I do think that fans of true crime cinema will enjoy the movie.
For people looking for a thriller or even a horror film this is not a film for you. It is not an edge of your seat thrill ride, rather a recreation of the sometimes mundane detective work that spanned several years, but a well told and sd story of how people were killed by a mad man.
