Here is My Movie Review of Zodiac
So basically what happens is that it tells the real life events of the Zodiac killer of how he Was able to keep his identity a secret. Then you have these detectives that are trying to figure out who the killer is and who would be his next victim that he kills. That is basically what the story is for this movie.
The acting in this movie is tremendous. I still think everyone gives it their all and I can tell everyone is having fun and their characters.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays Robert Grayseth and I have to say he still does a terrific job as the character. What makes Robert Graysmith such an awesome character Is that he really wants to figure out the identity of the Zodiac Killer. Probably my favorite moment with Robert Graysmith Is when he hears about The zodiac Killer killing kids on a school bus so he decides to drive his son to school so he doesn't let his son get killed by the Zodiac Killer. It is probably the darkest moment in the film. The chemistry between him and Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr, Anthony Edwards, and Brian Cox Is still outstanding. Fun fact 15 years later Jake Gyllenhaal would later go on to play Mysterio in Spider-Man Far from Home.
Robert Downey Jr plays Paul Avery In the film and I have to say he still does an Awesome job and the character of Paul Avery. What makes Paul Avery such a fantastic character is that Much like Robert Graysmith He also wants to figure out the identity of the Zodiac Killer and what his next target is. Probably my favorite moment with Paul Avery is when he and Robert Gray Smith are in the library reading the letters of the Zodiac Killer. Not only is it really disturbing but it makes sense because in real life the zodiac Killer wrote cryptic letters to the detectives To have them try to figure his identity. It is probably the most suspenseful moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Jake Gyllenhaal is still really remarkable. Fun fact a year later Robert Downey Jr would eventually play Iron Man in the movie Iron Man In the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fun fact actors Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig were both considered to play Paul Avery.
Anthony Edwards plays Bill Armstrong and I have to say he still does a wonderful job as the character. What makes Bill Armstrong such a great character and that much like the rest of the characters he also wants to figure out The identity of the Zodiac Killer and Who is his next victim Will be. Probably my favorite moment with Bill Armstrong is when he and David Tschi are questioning Arthur Leigh Allen To see if he is the The Zodiac Killer it is probably the most Disturbing moment in the entire film. The chemistry between him and Jake Gyllenhaal is still fantastic.
John Carroll Lynch plays Arthur Leigh Allen In the film. Now even though he doesn't play a big role in this movie I still think he does an excellent job as the character. Now Arthur Leigh Allen as a character is Really disturbing because he basically is trying to convince the detectives that he is not the Zodiac Killer. Probably The darkest moment in the entire film is what he is getting questioned by the detectives and when he states that he's not the Zodiac Killer Not only was it really dark in disturbing but it makes Because in real life Arthur Leigh Allen Was possibly The Zodiac Killer. It is probably the most shocking and nail biting moment of the entire film. The chemistry between him and Mark Ruffalo is still really spectacular.
Brian Cox plays Melvin Belli In the film and I have to say he still does an amazing job as the character. What makes Melvin Belli such an interesting character and then much like the other detectives he wants to figure out is the Zodiac Killer's true identity and who is his neck victim. Probably the darkest scene when Melvin Belli Is interviewing the Zodiac Killer and questioning why he kills people Because he wanted to figure out who was the identity of the Zodiac Killer It is probably the most disturbing moment in the entire film. Fun fact 4 years before this movie came out Brian Cox Played Colonel William Stryker in X2 X-Men United. The chemistry between him and Jake Gyllenhaal is astounding. Fun fact actor Gary Oldman was considered to play Marvin Belli.
However the absolute standout of the entire film is Mark Ruffalo and David Toschi. What makes David Toschi Such a fantastic character that he, much like everyone else, wants to figure out what is the identity of The Zodiac Killer and who his next victim will be. Probably my favorite moment with David Toschi and when he was arguing with Robert Graysmith about him doing the Zodiac case Not only was it a really great character interaction moment but it made sense because Robert Ray Smith isn't a detective he is a cartoonist so it makes sense why they were arguing. Not only was it really suspenseful but it makes sense Because Because in real life he had argument with Ray Smith About them trying to figure out who the Zodiac Killers but he found it a waste of time and just wanted to drop the whole thing and not discuss it again. The chemistry between him and Jake Gyllenhaal is still really tremendous. Fun fact 5 years later Mark Ruffalo will go on to play the Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
But the best thing about this movie is The directing by David Fincher What I love about this directing and he does a glorious job of discussing The Zodiac Killer because in real life he was a very vicious psycho who enjoyed killing people. He also sends cryptic letters to the detectives to have them figure out his identity. The Detectives were trying to figure out who would the identity of The Zodiac Killer because many people had a lot of theory of who as identity really was like Arthur Leigh Allen because the detective questions if he was the million killer and he denied that and the old dimension that he had to be a teacher at school but here that's really fun for touching his students inappropriate which is why he's waiting in jail because of those reasons. I think it is really perfect of how he kept everything that happened in real life completely serious because The Zodiac Killer was a very scary serial killer in real life because how he likes the toy with his victims before brutally killing them. I think it was really incredible how he did that. I think this movie is up there with Mank with Gary Oldman and one of the best directed David Fincher films.
So in conclusion this is still one of my favorite biopic film because of the whole storyline of all the way around the detective trying to figure out the identity of the Zodiac Killer and The Zodiac killer is really accurate to how it was In real life how he would then letters to the detectives and kill a lot of people because he views it as fun. Also Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Diane play off each other throughout the film I can re-watch all their themes because they have such magnificent chemistry with each other This is definitely in my top five favorite movies of all time. This is still up there with Ratatouille at one of my favorite films of 2007. Also this movie is probably up there with Jarhead as one of my favorite films of the 2000s. Also the scenes were the detectives trying to identify The Zodiac Killer ´ s letters is Probably the memorable and nail biting moments of the entire film. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you like the Social Network with Jesse Eisenberg which is another film directed by David Fincher. I'm sure you're going to like this film as well. I give this movie a 10/10.
