Zodiac


Zodiac has a lot of twists in it and definitely keeps the viewer guessing. The movie starts out, out of the blue. It then leads into a very twisted story of a killer who keeps sending the papers encrypted letters to post and then be solved by the public. Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) as the main character is definitely not the person you would suspect for trying to solve a murder mystery. He is the San Fransisco Chronicle's cartoonist. He then meats up with a police detective and starts one of strangest obsessions of his life. He only finds the killer decades later after the case had been cold for years.
True to the rest of his movies
David Fincher did most of the movie with very low lighting. At least in this movie it may have had the purpose of increasing the suspense. He also is very good at making the movie very unpredictable and makes numerous plot twists. All in all this movie was another very good piece of art and it is very much a David Fincher movie.
