i thought paramount didn't make challenging stuff anymore, fincher does however. absorbing film making, like the offspring of coppola and pakula, superb script, fine lead players and great support off john carroll lynch, chloe sevigny, brian cox etc. at some point a film so layered and ambtious should fall away a little, finchers real skill is that this 150 minute plus affair doesn't, its rivetting from the opening shots to the final reel.
Another fine Fincher flick, but....

'Zodiac' has everything you could want in a thriller, it's got mystery, suspense, action, electrifying performances and fantastic direction.
Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as case-obsessed Robert Graysmith is fantastic and Robert Downey Jr.'s role as alcoholic reporter Paul Avery is on a high-wire.
Fincher's direction has made this movie fantastic, with eerie cinematography and stylistic camera-work, he has built a real hard-hitting atmospheric experience.
So what's actually wrong with 'Zodiac'?
It's far too long.
In total the movie is 2 hours and 31 minutes long, it needed to be around 1 hour and 40 minutes long.
I managed to find three places where this film could of easily ended without spoiling the narrative structure and plot.
Nevertheless, 'Zodiac' is a great film that should be seen by all.
A definite purchase.
