Zodiac

This movie is basically a slow-moving documentary of the real-life Zodiac murders. Most of the information for the movie was taken from police case files. If you're looking for a movie with a lot of action, try another film. If you're looking for an accurate account of a horrific series of murders told through the conversations of newspaper reporters and cops, then this is your movie.

I probably would have gotten more depth and content out of a good Zodiac true crime book. But since I didn't want to spend a day reading the book, this movie is good source for the same information. The movie is well done and feels complete, even though they never catch the Zodiac killer. I had a fear that it would be like watching "Silence of the Lambs" with Jodie Foster never finding Buffalo Bill. But it works well. I feel like I know a lot more than I did about the Zodiac murders now that I've seen the movie. I can honestly say that I'm glad I wasn't a civilian or a cop in San Francisco during that time.
