Zodiac

used to be one of my favorite films after i watched it for the first time almost 2 years ago but after rewatching it, there are a lot more flaws to it.

while its mystery is great, its characters are basically just backdrops for it and are shallow at best. jake gyellenhaal is usually great but his performance is so whatever and feels like his performance in nightcrawler but so much worse.
mark ruffalo is fine but half of his line delivery sounds so fucking weird.

its cinematography is pretty good and i genuinely think its a well paced film with a intrigueing mystery but thats all it is, it knows to not fill in the blanks and just tell what everyone knows which is almost nothing but by being so close to reality, it focuses more on recounting those events then actually giving us great characters with depth allong that mystery.
its exploration on obsession is as deep as a puddle because we don't know this person at all, what part of him itches to get answers?
or is he just suppose to be a boring stand in for the audience?

While i like fight club,i think its not entirely for me but this is just amazing.
An amazing mystery,interesting characters and great direction.
The mystery of the zodiac killer is so mysterious and aminous,you want to find out who it is so bad but the movie giving us no answer is a great.
