Zodiac (2007)

Now Doesn't This Look Like An Asian Horror Movie Poster?

Alright so let me start out this post by saying that watching this movie is an all day excursion, at 2 hours and 45 minutes long your going to want to take water breaks, bathroom breaks, nap breaks, social commentary breaks, and in general your going to want to get on with your fucking life

Now don't get me wrong it was pretty interesting and the facts remained true to the actual case of the Zodiac killer as far as I could tell (update on this looking at some other site apparently the movie was about 35% accurate....well ain't that a piss off) but I would have just appreciated the Sparknotes version: "that mother fucker did it" boom end of movie I can study for my exams now

It's kind of like a real world version of Deathnote in the way that at the end you feel a sense of justice and a bigger sense of injustice (and SPOILER the main suspect died of heart attack, Kira strikes again!)

By the end of the movie you can't decide whether the Zodiac is really smart or really stupid, I mean to put this much circumstantial evidence upon himself calling the police and shit has to be irrevocably moronic, but at the same time they never caught the guy so I guess thats smart enough I mean as a serial killer isn't that the most you can ask for...oh wait in one of the letters the Zodiac was asking for a movie about him....I guess thats a lot more to ask for than not being caught...but we'd never give him a movie because we wouldn't want to set a dangerous precedent for other deranged possible murderers seeking attention...oh wait...well we'd certainly not make three movies about him....oh wait -_-

Ultimately this movie eventually stopped being about the Zodiac killer and started being about a man...struggling to find the Zodiac killer...no no not the police or L...a fucking cartoonist...who SPOILERS destroys his marriage looking for the guy....END OF SPOILERS no one asked him to look for Zodiac...in fact many people discouraged him....including SPOILERS the Zodiac himself who called his house to breathe heavily into the phone and then hang up END OF SPOILERS but this guy apparently love puzzles so much that he's willing to let it destroy his entire life, now don't get me wrong back when I was in grade 8 I wanted to be a detective (then I realized I hate hearing bad news -_-) so I did some research on the Zodiac Killer by myself (this would be 2005/2006 before the movie came out) and it does consume you like a very good game of Sudoku except nobody ever died or ruined a marriage playing Sudoku....that we know of...

At the end of it all like a puzzle with a missing piece your left with more questions then answers such as "who the fuck stole that last piece?", "Jimmy did you eat that last piece?" and "I'M GOING TO BEAT THE FUCK OUT OF YOU JIMMY"
