When thrillers are confused for loud noises, destruction, wild chases, extra-terrestrial and super-human, here comes David Fincher who gave us Seven, The Fight Club and The Panic Room with his latest offering - Zodiac. You wait to get thrilled, gripped by panic and fear, but nothing happens till the end. You dont realise that you have watched a three hour American movie. Is it an anti-climax?
That is Zodiac for you. A really long movie on a serial killer, who called himself Zodiac, killed people for more than a decade in the Bay area of San Fransisco in the 60s and 70s and sent letters and cryptgrams to police and newspapers. A committed and curious few - two police officers and two journalists - follow the cold trail, day and night, for several years and almost lose their lives to them. As the tagline of the movie says, there is more than one way to lose your life to a killer.
By the time my post appears on the blog, the movie will be out on TV.
