Zodiac

David Fincher rises up on my list of favorite directors higher and higher every film of his that I watch. Some of my favorite movies have been directed by Fincher, like The Social Network and Se7en. Zodiac is fairly different from his other films in that it takes place in a different time period. This time period is the main strength of the movie. If the viewers goal is to be transported into a believable alternate time period, Zodiac does its job superbly. The sets are gorgeous and the hair styles and costumes provide a really immersive aspect to the movie. I really enjoyed the plot and thought the way the murderer set things up with the puzzles was really interesting. I do not think that this movie is one of Fincher's best films, but I definitely think it does a good job at recreating the Noir movies. This movie is entertaining while grim and while it is a very long movie, its pacing makes it very watchable. I recommend this movie and will probably watch it in a few years, I give it a 7/10.
