Zodiac

[toots68]

Anyone looking forward to seeing this film? It's David Fincher's latest and his work is always worth seeing (Seven, Fight Club.)

It's based on Robert Graysmith's book about the real life Zodiac serial killer.

It seems to have had very good reviews (4 stars in Empire, for example.)

Yeah I am looking forward to it as well. Its out in the UK on the 18th May although it was released in the US a few months ago though!
I havnt read the book but the reviews have been good so I will be going to see it when it is released!

I liked it. I loved Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" song that played throughout. I thought it evoked the 70's feel real well in the film. I thought Robert Downey Jr. did a pretty good job as well.

But surely the murderer was...

never caught. So surely people going to the cinema expecting to find out whodunit will be disappointed.

I think it's all explained rather nicely in the film.

I saw it in the US when it came out - it's extremely good. Extremely tense from the off and despite the length it holRAB your attention throughout. The subject isn't dealt with in a sensationalist way (thankfully) but has a drama-documentary feel to it. Be prepared for a LOT of information in the minutest detail coming your way.

Highly recommended.

Just seen it and I enjoyed it.

A long film but a lot is thrown in so the film never slows up......

I really want to see this but my local vue isnt showing it, despite the fact it is still showing Mr Bean and Wild Hogs

Very good film fantasic visually really feels like your watching something that was actually made in the 70's

Clever old Sky just put a documentary about the killings on their Sky Anytime service. Interesting programme, interesting case. Might well watch the movie now. Hadn't really been bothered one way or the other about it before.

I liked Fincher's Seven and Alien 3, but really didn't rate Fight Club all that much, but he's a quality film maker all right.

I read the piece about this bloke on the Crime Library website a few years ago, its an interesting story. Fincher is a quality Director and is perfect for this type of movie, I will have to check it out.

I'm looking forward to this.

We've just downloaded another film about the 'Zodiac killer' called, 'Curse of the Zodiac'....haven't a clue what it'll be like, though.

Saw this last night, absolutely fantastic. It is very long, but it didn't feel long as it kept me completely engrossed throughout, never even thought about sneeking a peek at my watch. The three main leaRAB are all very different characters, and very strong in their roles, the script is excellent and the style of filming used fitted the time and subject matter brilliantly.

 

[Pandora Tomorrow]

Just seen this, fantastic is right - even though it is long, I was enthralled throughout. Hope it gets some Oscar recognition despite being released at the wrong time of year!
All three leaRAB are wonderful in it.

Going to see this next week while it's still on at our Showcase.

 

[kZ cutie <3]

^^ totally agree..............and best of all Jake was in it *sigh*

 

[Jamie Roberts]

Finally got to see this on dvd the other night. Absolutely fantastic. Gripping and intriguing from start to finish. Film of the year for me (to date).

 

[pink.tutu95]

It's getting released in the UK in September as a one disc version. I really want all the extras but this version won't be released until sometime in 2008

 

[Travel N Livin]

I saw this a few weeks ago. It's well worth watching.
