I dont understand the boring complaints becuase for me the film flew by.

This is a great study of what police work was like before DNA, computers, etc.

This isnt CSI(a show I cant stand) where they wrap up a murder case in 40 minutes - it shows how exhaustive police work truly can be.

Zodiac is a GREAT film.

Saw it, and also watched a special on the History channel about the same case, should have stayed home to watch more of the History Channel.

I like the crime scene where you can look in the taxi.

It's all I have to make do with until the film gets over here.

I wnat to see it, what are the two "fincher" masterpieces?

JLM · 03-12-2007, 05:02 AM

Seven and Fight Club. I think they're both good films. I think that masterpiece is a bit of an overstatement though.

There's probabably someone somewhere that thinks that Alien3 and Panic Room are masterpieces though.......

Those are both good movies, but both are far from a "masterpiece". Zodiac does have the highest rating of any of his movies on Rotten Tomatoes, which is what I always use to determine if a movie is worth seeing or not. I've been interested in this story for a while, anyway. I'll probably wait for the HD-DVD in a few months.

Another underated film of his is "The Game". I think "Se7en" will be considered a masterpiece in time.

JLM · 03-12-2007, 12:59 PM

I think that the best thing about Seven is the fact that Dr Cox from "Scrubs" is in it.

I found it difficult to take his character (in Seven) seriously before. Now, even less so.

Ditto I don't consider Fight Club anything special or Zodiac as far as amazingly directed films unlike Se7en which was great and will be up there forever. Same with the game, they're good movies just nothing like Christopher Nolan or Darren Aronofsky whose films show that director's style moreso then doing a great job and the film coming out good.
