This is one of my favorite films of all time. It excels on every possible level: Directing, cinematography, editing, writing, acting, production design, costumes, all of it. They intentionally cast different actors to play Zodiac in every scene that we see him, both to throw the viewers off, and because the killer's identity was never proven. For the taxi scene, they shot one scene from within the actual apartment where the witnesses lived at the time. But they had to use extensive VFX for the exterior scenes to make the block look like it did in the 1970s.

Zodiac is the scariest non-horror film I’ve ever seen. It’s been awhile since I last watched it so I’m eager to check out the full length reaction when I have enough time.

May well be my favorite David Fincher movie. I'm fascinated by true crime anyhow, but the atmosphere of this movie, something about it I could just watch it anytime. The jump in the middle of the movie to where Gyllenhaal becomes the main lead is a little jarring though.

Such an underrated movie. A gem

This was my first David Fincher movie. I fell in love with his direction style and with the Zodiac Killer case.

1. This movie was not only RDJ's big comeback to serious acting after his years of drug and legal issues, but it was what made Marvel want to cast him as Iron Man. 2. Those phones calls Armstrong had with the other police departments were pretty accurate to who disjointed and very non-communitive the investigation was between the different PD's. One of the many reasons Zodiac was probably never caught. 3. By modern standards, Zodiac would come across as an incel lashing out, but killing the cabbie broke that pattern. 4. A recently deciphered Zodiac letter said, "That was not me on the TV show." Very eerie! 5. Are there really not many basements in California, at least back in the 60s? 6. Allen's trailer was really in a state of clutter when the cops searched it. Not sure if the squirrels are true, though, lol. 7. I think the real Bob Vaughn was known to be a cheery and merry guy compared to his movie counterpart, and the footsteps upstairs were his wife. 8. Graysmith's obsessions with Zodiac did ruin his second marriage. 9. The real Graysmith really did surveil Allen when he was working at an Ace Hardware, but he didn't actually confront him head on, and he even brought his kids with him when he did it. 10. The real Megeau did identify Allen from a lineup, but the cops didn't take it as seriously as they seemed to here because it was super dark when he was shot, and the Zodiac had the flashlight-gun pointed at him the whole time, making unlikely they he got a real look at Zodiac's face. 11. The real Paul Avery and Robert Graysmith weren't friends. They worked at the Chronicle during the Zodiac era, but only met until Graysmith was researching his book, which Avery did not like. 12. You NEED to watch Social Network and Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

Love your reactions man. You're so perceptive and thoughtful. I look forward to seeing and hearing your thoughts on the Fincher films you've yet to see.

Please watch "The Girl with the dragon tattoo" (2011) by David Fincher. It's an often forgotten gem by the director and it's AWESOME

Literally just read this today about Mark Ruffalo… Mark Ruffalo says the studio told his agent to take the offer for ‘ZODIAC’ because “we don’t even want him.” “We don’t give a shit about Mark Ruffalo. We don’t even want him in this, so you’re going to take what we’re offering you or forget it” Crazy!! He was marvelous in this.

The Zodiac case was reopened after this movie aired, but to date no one has been apprehended.

You should do the classic film, Chinatown. It wasn't, of course, directed by Fincher but he did do the commentary track for it (with its screenwriter, Robert Towne). Fincher clearly loves the film and his and Towne's commentary on it is interesting and enjoyable.

They based the Riddler from The Batman on this killer and it was a really smart idea, as the Zodiac killer also used riddles/cyphers.

You need to get the DVD or Blu-ray of “Zodiac”, it’s a 2 disc set, and the 2nd disc is documentaries and extras that are just as excellent as the movie. The documentary “I Am The Zodiac” that’s on the 2nd disc is extremely disturbing.

It's so interesting that the obsession with solving the case seems to pass from person to person. From RDJ to Ruffalo to Maguire. They're all invested from the beginning but it's almost as if the unhinged obsession of one person breaks them and the next person feels obligated to take over. The knowledge that no one is working on the case compels them to take up the mantle.

Have you seen "The Social Network"(2010) or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? They're also by David Fincher...

they used three different actors to play the zodiac to emphasis the mystery of not knowing who the actual zodiac was. it was most likely Arthur Leigh Allan but we will never know because he died before they could bring him in.

Thanks for uploading and for your professional review. Good luck in the future! 🙂

Great movie. Cant wait to watch this video later tonight when i get time.

I mean, of course a movie from 2007 looks good it wasn’t a long time ago at all…? Crazy to think that you thought it was solved too .. never heard anybody that hasn’t heard of this before. Good reaction.

The only time I've been scared in a movie scene was when Jakey G was in the basement with the projectionist.

Every time we see or hear the Zodiac it’s a different actor. Fincher did that to add to the uncertainty since the killer was never caught.

As a true crime fan, reality is always scarier and more haunting than fiction. Imagining people going through this level of evil is more terrifying than any horror movie. If Zodiac is even alive(many people in the true crime community don't think it's Allen) hopefully he's caught one day. DNA technology keeps advancing, if he's ever identified, it's going to be through forensics. I don't think anyone will be coming forward at this point.

Not sure if you watched the Assembly Cut of Alien 3. I'm a huge fan of it, and much closer to Finchers original vision.

my fave RDJr performances are in "Home for the Holidays" and "In Dreams".... def worth checking out if you're a RDJr fan!

Beer is the safe option for me 😂 although a cocktail every now and then is good lol

A classic

Jake's Bubble Boy (2001)

I don't wear things on my right wrist 'cuz I am american and wipe with the hand with more dexterity.

Was Panic Room one of the less popular ones? I liked it. 🤷‍♀️

Please react to When Evil Lurks (2023). It's the most depraved horror I've seen in a while and I've seen A Serbian Film. Even though it's brutal, it's very engaging with its plot and characters. Top tier horror and the best this year. Definitely topped Talk to Me. It has subtitles though, but you don't really notice you're reading because of how engaging it is.

Good reaction👍..

Robert Downey Junior plays Robert Downey Junior. He was good in Oppenheimer like he is in everything. Playing Robert Downey Junior.

great f'n movie. the reaction...not so much.

You drive me crazy!!!! Nobody sees the killer! To this day we don’t know who he is! I’m 10 minutes in and I want to scream at you! 😂

You should really edit out the black bars out of these videos.

THE CASE CANNOT BE SOLVED BY JAKE G!!! IT HAS NOT BEEN SOLVED IN REAL LIFE!!!

It wasn’t Alan though dude.. they have no idea who it is
