There is a lot wrong with zodiac but most of it can be summed up in one word, SLOW, now I im not some guy that needs a non stop action thriller fast paced bombardment of action, in fact im quite the opposite, but this is unacceptable the tension of the movie is already compromised by knowing the outcome before the movie starts at least as far as the serial killer plot goes, obviously he is never caught. In the meantime its just a play by play of what was happening that anyone watching the news in the 70's could have seen, mixed with a ho hum story based on the paranoia of a local reporter. I mean the acting is solid for it is which saves it from being a complete abortion, but aside from that its just a slow paced snore fest that makes The Human Condition trilogy look like it has a Transformers like pace in comparison, and thats like 9 and half hours long.
