1132 - Zodiac


I've been meaning to watch this film for a long time but the damn length kept me from it. It's hard to find time these days to watch a two and a half hour film outside of the theaters. I love that this film doesn't try and speculate on anything. All it does it observe the people that were trying to observe the killer. The tagline for the film "There's more than one way to lose your life to a serial killed" is fantastic, and that's exactly what this film is about. Obsession. The performances are fantastic and never over-the-top. Using only the information that exists it weaves a wonderful little puzzle as we watch a man potentially lose his life and those he loves, not through murder, but through the obsession of a murderer. Really interesting film. Glad I finally found time to watch it.
