I saw it, and I think it was very well done. I really liked it, and so the did the rest of the audience it seemed. I think they were pretty accurate concerning the facts of the case. Even when there are theories and speculations that emerge they make sure we can distinguish between the two, which is often not the case in docudramas.

Great movie - not really a thriller, but an accurate police detective procedural regarding this case. I think most Websleuthers will like this one a lot! Robert Downey Jr. steals every scene he is in!
Doesn't he always?
We thought this was a great film, as well. The two teenagers sitting in front of us were mad at the ending, though. I don't think they realized going in that there wasn't going to be an arrest...
Very, very well put, Lion. I have read the book on which the film is based and that was exactly my impression. And even though the movie reflects the writer's strong conviction as to the identity of the killer, it makes it quite clear this could never be proved.
Loved it, loved it, loved it! I'm so tired of movies about car chases; Zodiac actually downplays the frenzy of activity immediately following the shooting of the cab driver.
Are there two different versions of this movie? I rented one last year and didn't think it was that great. I think Vince Vaughan played one of the lead detectives in that one. They never showed a character playing the Zodiac, just a voiceover.
But then I saw The Zodiac dvd on the shelves at Hollywood Video last week, with Jake Gylenhaal on the cover. I don't remember him being in the version that I saw. Anyway, just wondering if there are different versions out there, because if so then I may rent the one that I haven't seen.
yes, there is......the one with Gyllenhaal & Robt Downey Jr is the best one....imo
