This is a very tragic case of ‘good film comes out, follows history well, good director, etc. but nobody goes to see it’.

It’s sad because Zodiac is one of David Fincher’s shining achievements, and a MUST watch for true crime fans. Karen Kilgariff recently mentioned this flick on her My Favorite Murder podcast (aka my favorite podcast). Seriously guys, this movie is fucking good and underrated:

PROS: mark ruffalo is in it, the score is creepy and great, indie God-child Chloe Sevigny is in it, the cinematography is great like every David Fincher movie, historically accurate shit, and 100 more reasons.

CONS: it’s kinda long (get the fuck over it), and not much else. The film can be slow at points but the suspense is SOLID.

OVERALL: the Zodiac was never caught, which MIGHT be why this movie didn’t get the recognition it deserves. Audiences want to catch the bad guy, but if you love true crime like myself- it’s not always about catching the perp! Part of the fascination is the evidence and the chase. Plus, it probably was Arthur Leigh Allen (wink wink).
