Thoughts on 2007: Zodiac

I'd argue this film isn't a film. It's more of a document, a piece of journalism, or a true non-fiction film without being a documentary.

And it also happens to be absolutely riveting.

My knowledge on the subject of the Zodiac murders was spotty at best, but still, unlike Hollywoodland, I found the "unsolved" nature of the crime to give the film a kind of immediacy, as it was not confined by the shackles of inevitability.

I recommend this film highly to anyone looking for an alternative to the traditional format, yet told with impeccable perfection.
