Reviews for The Zodiac
At its most interesting, The Zodiac spins a tale of the consequences of homicide, painting a palpable and realistic-seeming portrait of a family and a community falling victim to the psychological terrorism of a serial killer.

As you drift off to sleep, think of it as The Zzz-Zodiac.
03/16/06
Treats the unfolding murder spree like a routine police procedural.

Top CriticIt takes a certain level of talent to try to make a scary movie out of a serial killer, showing most of his gruesome, cruel crimes, and end up with a real yawner.
03/16/06
Regurgitates a lifetime of police-thriller conventions, adding an aura of laughable solemnity in the hope of making the plot seem less banal.
03/16/06
The filmmakers essentially box themselves into an almost existential situation where nothing happens other than the unraveling of intimate relationships under insurmountable stress.

Top CriticBoring when it should be gripping.

Top Critic...Bulkley tells the story without frills but also without much excitement. At the end, we are told that the Zodiac's final letter included the line `I am waiting for a good movie about me.' He's still waiting.

Chambers struggles for a connective tie to the audience to justify a worn-out subject, but this script isn't the vehicle to get him anywhere.
