Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

amariesco-39264 I have a Master's degree in Forensic Science, so true crime interests me. I've read Robert Graysmith's books on the Zodiac killer, and I believe he was right on with who he thought the Zodiac was (DNA test did not match the stamps on the letters to the Chronicle, but there could be a number of reasons for that).Actually I had no idea what kind of movie (documentary or fiction) when I added it on hold from the library. They don't give you an online synopsis of the film at the library. I was hoping for documentary, but instead I watched bad acting and an implausibly scripted movie. The only thing they included that was correct, was that the Zodiac killer was in San Francisco and murdered Paul Stine, the cab driver, there. Nothing else in this movie was remotely plausible or interesting.

pediatricgrime The most stupid characters I've ever seen! The girlfriend didn't even understand how a cipher works! The boyfriend wanted to fight everyone. The killer was a genius in his day, now he made huge mistakes. How is that plausible? Only positives were cinematography, score and editing, I suppose... Avoid at all costs, unless you want to actually lose some IQ-points!

Oscar-Stein A great idea gets lost in this amateurish film. After a pedestrian prelude depicting the shooting deaths of a couple parked on a lovers' lane in 1968 Northern California. Years later in present day Virginia, where Mick (Shane West) and Zoe Branson (Leslie Bibb) are struggling to make it! They buy abandoned storage lockers along with their friend. One day they buy a locker and they think they come across contents of the Zodiac killer. Because the case is "Still Open" the reward is still there for the taking. When they find out who owned the locker there troubles begin and end up playing a deadly game of cat and mouse. Should have been better.

suzy-63 I went out of my way to go to a late night showing of this film. I've been fascinated with the mystery behind the Zodiac killer. There were inaccuracies on some of the facts about the real Zodiac killer, but I wasn't really expecting it to be 100% true to facts anyway. I knew it was fictionalized story and though it would be interesting. Now my review: Great combination of poor writing and acting. Save your money on this one folks. The film was so bad that half way through the movie I was rooting for the Zodiac to kill off the idiot lead actor and actress. Very disappointing.
