Zodiac (2007)

- written June 4, 2009

Summary: The story of the Zodiac Killer and the decades long search to find the killer and bring him to justice. One cartoonist for the local newspaper is doing extraordinary work to catch the killer and no one believes him as he risks everything including his family to help.           Overall: I liked the cast but this was a long film…almost 3 hours actually. I felt that film should and could have been shortened, considering that no one was ever charged with the killings. Sure the real story and film give us the main suspect and the long process of eliminating the unusual suspects…but frankly I thought they should have sped up things once it became obvious the police department had ceased investigating at full strength. Anyway, good performances here but be prepared for a long, slow film.           Comparison: From Hell meets Dirty Harry
