REVIEW: Zodiac

Director: David Fincher
Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr.
Plot: Based on true events, the film follows the investigations into the serial murders that occurred in the '70s by someone who called himself the Zodiac.
Brief Thoughts: This is a good film. However, it's very long, and the middle is somewhat slow. The performances are very strong and Fincher once again shows he's a very competent director. The script is extremely unconventional in that major characters drop out and come back, and there's so much information and so many perspectives being thrown around it can be hard to get into. Also: the ending is extremely un-Hollywoodish. However, the film is better for it. It presents the truth.
