The Zodiac (2005)
5/10
What the .....? Where's the ending?
11 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
I spent 90 minutes watching this movie only to be disappointed. The beginning held so much promise. The opening scene starting with the first recorded Zodiac murder and then following up with the introduction of the characters, all well done. But thats when the movie takes a turn for me. The lead policeman is not engaging at all. When he become obsessed with catching the killer, resorting to smoking, drinking and bad temper, you do not feel for him. I felt that he was a jerk not considering his family during this time.

There are hints that the son connects with the killer - like a profiler, as he seems to collect everything he can on the crimes including breaking into his fathers office, but this not explored.

The policeofficer's wife and son are going to leave him, them nothing happens, it was like it didn't happen and they were all back together again.

The ending of this film is what is the most disappointing. Ending with the Zodiac threat to kill school children on the bus and the police tailing them. This movie could have been so much better.

P.S. The night camera work is way to dark to see what was going on
