Zodiac

By Sandor Hugert

This was probably one of the most interesting movies of the year.  The whole movie is about investigations for finding out who the Zodiac really is.  I’m not going to give any spoilers on who he really is or isn’t, but I will say that the ending is not quite satisfying.  If you know something about the real Zodiac case then you know why the ending can’t be good for the movie.  I looked up some facts about this case, and apparently the movie stayed just about 100% faithful to how the real case turned out.  The movie showed really well how people became obsessed with this case, and basically just ruined their lives just to find out who the Zodiac really is.  All of the actors in the movie portrayed their characters wonderfully.  Everything about the movie was just perfect except the fact that it was almost three hours long.  They could easily have made the movie like two hours long if they would’ve just skipped some parts that were really didn’t contribute anything to the whole story line.  I really didn’t expect much from this movie, but I was really surprised that it’s probably one of the best movies of the year.

Score:  9 out of 10
