Dan O'Neill90 - Zodiac is a film where barely anything happens, except for a lot of talking and investigation into a case that is still open today, but Fincher keeps this long flick totally entertaining, exciting, and tense with a great screenplay that dives right into the investigation itself, and show perfect performances by just about everybody involved.

Bryan Lienesch90 - A riveting sort of 'historical thriller', but at times the film feels as though it covers its span of 22 years in realtime.
Lisa Marie Bowman85 - Jake Gyllenhaal is miscast but otherwise, this is a haunting and disturbing film. Excellent work from Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr. ,and Chloe Sevigny.
