Review: Zodiac-The Director's CutBrian Holcomb08.Jan.08 Even though Zodiac attempts to achieve a sort of documentary-like reality, there is an underlying surrealism, a poetic and nightmarish vibe that hangs over the whole film. 
Review: ZodiacEmma Simmonds15.Aug.07 Bonds are fleetingly forged then broken, comradeship and honour are largely absent and, like the Zodiac himself, everyone emerges as a rather lost and damaged soul.

WOW! Did I love this movie. It was one of those that stays with you.
I might have chosen to say that because I remember the Zodiac news. I or maybe because the fact that it kept me glued to my seat. I was informative and gut wrenching.
I might have just said it was the actors and the great performances but I think most of all it was all of that and more. I haven’t seen a movie that entertaining in years. Beautiful Job! To the author, screen writer director etc. etc.
Thank you,
Shirley Rupp
