It's hard to believe that the man whom directed the cult-classic (and great flick) "SE7EN", actually made this horrid movie. If you go into it expecting suspense, mass-murder, gore, etc. Beware. There's nothing like that, in this movie. It's basically a 3 hour documentary about Jake Gyllenhaal's obsession with the Zodiac killer.

The only actual murders that take place within the movie, take place within the first 30 or so minutes of it.

That set aside, if the movie was trying to appeal to the more "mature" audience (18+), and try to be interesting without all the gore, violence, cursing, suspense, and action, then the movie was probably successful on a few levels. The character development of Jake Gyllenhaal was very apparent, but not even his (decent to good) acting in this movie, can keep you awake, if you're expecting an interesting movie.

The only way to be interested in this film, is if you like movies that feed you the same redundant information, over and over, for 3 hours straight. And even then, still nothing goes anywhere. And nothing gets resolved in the end.

I gave this 2 stars. Simply because there WAS character development. But that set aside, not even the great actors in this movie, could save it from it's downfall of boring, redundant, pointless dialogue. And it's lack of action and suspense.

Save your money and your eyes from this movie.
