Film reçu en temps et en bon état. Ce film est fait réel de meurtre gratuit fait par un psychopathe qui perpétrait ses meurtres en narguant la police. Ces meurtres n'ont jamais été résolus et ont eu pour effet de terrorisé la population ndurant plusieurs décénies.

I wanted to get this movie for some time now as the reviews were consistently good.
When the price came down to a reasonable level I bought it.
Just recently watched it and enjoyed it very much.
The acting was good and the story stayed close enough to what really happened.
As people know the Zodiac was never brought to trial but one suspect who died in the early nineties was show cased in the movie.
I like the way in the closing credits where it tells what happened to the characters in real life.
That's a nice touch.

I've been looking for this movie for quite a while and I was glad to see it so cheap on Amazon.
Includes commentary tracks as well if that is your thing!
Great cast including Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr. and John Carroll Lynch.
Based on the book by Robert Graysmith, who detailed the timeline and events of the killer known as the Zodiac who was a serial killer in the San Francisco area in the 1970's

One of Fincher's best. A crime thriller detective drama about the real life Zodiac killer that his still not been caught to this day. What's fantastic about this movie is even though it 's a period piece, it still attracts theories on who the killer really was and the popular one was that they had him in their sights but let him go. As with any Fincher film on blu-ray, the video and audio quality are top of the line and it's packed with special features on the making of this film and a bit on the real Zodiac killer. A worthy addition to add to your Fincher collection, especially since this is a little harder to come by in retail. And it's slightly cheaper online too.

Probably the best, if not THE best, movie about the Zodiac killer. Mysterious & intriguing. They did several films on the subject that are not to neglect, but I really think this one has its own particular way to present it, using the journalistic approached, an option never really explored in the pass in my opinion. Even if we mostly know how the story ends; worths giving it a try sincerely.

Absolutely incredible amazing film. Great direction from Fincher who really knows how to weave a story together. Excellent performances from all the cast. It is a creepy story because it is based on true events and what is even more creepy is that they have never caught the Zodiac killer. One of the best if not the best horror films I have ever seen.

I bought this movie in BR to add to my collection. The mastering of the video and audio is superb and the many music tracks from the period are just amazing on a good surround system.
the video was bought through an amazon distributor and they gave me prompt and excellent service. (Beardos bazaar).
I recommend this movie as it is based on true events.

Criminally underated!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 4, 2020Verified Purchase
Epic mystery/thriller about possibly the most bizarre serial killer in American history.
The Zodiac killer first appeared in San Francisco in the late sixties and with his rather odd home made disguise, those attention seeking letters addressed directly to the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and the strange coded pictograms he became big news very quickly. Killing at least six but claiming many more he frightened an entire city into almost lock down.
Some mild spoilers.
Although the story is essentially about the hunt for the killer and the extreme efforts that the police and the two detectives assigned to the case went to in attempting to crack the case, it also charts the substantial and in the end overwhelming effects the case ultimately had on Robert Graysmith, the newspapers cartoonist, and his wife and family. His lone attempts to solve the mystery of the killers identity became a personal compulsion and addiction that in the end almost destroyed his life. In a world well before computers, before criminal profiling, before CCTV and the Internet the clues mounted up, red herrings abounded, and the huge amount of paperwork amassed could fill an entire room. With limited resources and time to investigate the case eventually became totally bogged down to such a degree that you could not see the wood for the trees. There was so much “evidence” that deciding what was important became almost impossible. A number of suspects arose and one in particular was thought to be the prime suspect. Could it be proved?
David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club, The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) was a perfect choice for this dark material. Casting four excellent actors doing some of their best work in the main roles to flesh out these real life characters, and filming a quite wonderful script really brought the time and the feel of late sixties early seventies San Francisco vividly to life. Finchers' eclectic but always interesting personal directing style and attention to detail firmly cement the film in a time and place with real authenticity. Tone is very consistent throughout, this is a film about a series of brutal murders after all, so for the most part it's a brooding sombre piece that attempts to reflect the reality of investigating a series of murders and stopping further ones. Finchers' films often have a dark noirish feel and Zodiac is no exception, so if you liked Seven or Fight Club then you will probably like this effort as well as it feels quite similar in execution. As you would expect, costumes, sets, set dressing and the auto mobiles are spot on and compliment the supreme efforts made by the whole crew to make this film look right. Shot in a very pleasing 2.35 -1 aspect ratio, the magnificent lighting cinematography is quite beautiful, especially in the darker night scenes and Finchers' habit of utilizing almost unnoticeable special effects to achieve what he wants to see on screen is wonderfully understated. You certainly will not even realise you are watching an effect in most cases and I would recommend you watch the second disc with a multitude of special features to enjoy.
At 162 minutes this is a long film and in my view 15 minutes could have been trimmed without any real detriment to the story. However I was never bored and the time did fly for the most part. I actually watched this film some years ago and although I was impressed with the quality of the whole production, the film experience itself left me a bit cold. The bleak and senseless killings of mostly very young people was a subject I found no pleasure in and the film suffered as a result. The same thing happened with Goodfellas some years earlier. On second viewings however for both I changed my mind. Some films need a second chance.
The full length documentary covering the attacks and the investigation with many of the real participants, and two of the victims who luckily got away, is excellent and well worth a watch. I would suggest you watch the film first so as not to spoil how the story unfolds, however it's of course up to you.
From what I have learnt about the case, Clint Eastwoods' film Dirty Harry is based at least in part on The Zodiac killings.
A cracking real life serial killer thriller.

Watching Zodiac for the 3rd time and it is more fascinating and engrossing each time..it can be a little confusing at times with all the theories and suspects but keeps you enthralled as you want to see the killer as much as the cops do.
It has a very eerie atmosphere , probably due to the fact that the film is a true story based on real case files and makes you realise what a screwed up world we can live in when you think someone like this could be living in your street.
Jake Gyllenhall, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey are all heavy weight in this and they keep the story gripping even tho it is rather slow paced..you always feel they are onto something only to be foiled at the last minute.
You can feel the tension towards the end, wondering if they have finally cracked it , one particular scene near the end had the cinema i watched it in holding their breath and thinking OMG!.
If you like true crime drama i'm sure this will be perfect for you and if you just like well told thrillers then you can't go to far wrong with this well acted, stylish film

Disappointing police failure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 22, 2010Verified Purchase
A real criminal, a real serial killer and his "adventures". What makes this story interesting is the fact that the police never succeeded and never arrested the killer, in spite of the help of the media in San Francisco. It all amounted to circumstantial evidence and no indictment, not to mention conviction, was ever pronounced, hence no suspect declared and arrested. The case can come out today because all those who were suspected to have played a role in this sinister story are dead or out of the way. That will not change anything anyway because the case is now closed since the main yet undeclared suspect is dead. The real question is to know whether the police, the various police departments concerned did their job properly, if the inspectors did theirs and if their hierarchy supported them. It's always difficult to say especially with the role of the Attorney general or public prosecutor in the area. There are so many elements that may stop an investigation in the USA, particularly elections since the main characters in security forces are elected and local officials are the bosses of the Police. A lot can be said and a lot can be done, or undone or just not done. And that seems to be the case here. The film is slightly slow though and the attempt to dramatize it does not succeed entirely.

A Masterpiece of a movie from Fincher. A Must See Film!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 21, 2009Verified Purchase
This film is an adaptation of the Robert Graysmith book. From the very start it draws you into the San Francisco Bay area of the 60s and 70s. It carries you through the years of determination by detectives, newspapermen and even civilians who got involved trying to crack a case that to this day remains unsolved. Great attention to detail and authenticity are part of this films appeal. Actual case files were used in its making, giving it an edge on many others of the same genre. At times this movie has a documentary feel to it, but in the case of Zodiac it brings the audience in to crack the case too.
From the early scenes depicting the Zodiacs first known murders we are shown the terror and agony suffered by his victims. These images are shocking and brutal and not soon forgotten. You want to see the Zodiac get caught and in Fincher's storytelling the audience is given a chance to come up with their own theories.
Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey Jr, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anthony Edwards, Brian Cox and John Carroll Lynch are exceptional in this film. This is absolutely a must see!!

Import the US release!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 9, 2014Verified Purchase
Let me start off by advising all UK/European customers to do yourselves a favour and import the US blu-ray rather than buying the UK version. It is region-free and will play on all blu-ray players.
The UK release crams both the movie and special features onto one disc, therefore the video and audio quality of the movie suffers (VC-1 encoded video at 14mbps and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio at 640kbps), whereas the 2-disc US release gives the movie a chance to shine, with its MPEG-4 AVC encoded video at 31mbps and Dolby TrueHD lossless audio (48kHz, 24-bit), and provides HD-quality extras on a separate disc.
Now, as for the movie itself... Fans of director David Fincher ("Fight Club", "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo") will know what to expect here: stylish visuals, well-crafted storylines, top-notch editing and sound design and, of course, rather dark subject matter (although viewers will find "Zodiac" much less mean-spirited and more thoughtful than some of his other work).
Based on true events, the film centres on two detectives (Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Edwards), a journalist (Robert Downey Jr.) and a cartoonist (Jake Gyllenhaal) in their obsessive hunt for an elusive serial killer in 1960's and 70's California, following the lengthy investigation which threatens to derail all of their careers and personal lives. More of a crime drama than a standard "serial killer thriller", the film is nevertheless utterly gripping and involving, and even at 2 hours 42 mins, never feels dragged out or overlong. The details of the case are fascinating (you will definitely want to check out the documentaries on disc 2 about the real-life investigation) and will have you hooked from the opening sequence to the end credits. The performances are universally excellent, and Fincher perfectly captures the mood of the era with attention to detail in the costumes, music, sets and locations -- the sterile newspaper offices and dingy police record rooms, sun-kissed lakes and parks, beige apartments and foggy night-time San Francisco.
The blu-ray video itself is gorgeous -- crisp and sharp, with amazing clarity, detail and colour. One of the best transfers I've seen yet. The audio track is slightly front-heavy, with little-to-no surround, but does a more than adequate job in a dialogue-driven movie which is more about story and characters than explosive sound effects or scary music.
All in all, "Zodiac" is another wonderful offering from David Fincher -- well paced and engrossing, with compelling performances and a chilling mystery at its core. The 2-disc US blu-ray release is excellent, and includes 2 audio commentaries and 5 documentaries detailing the making of the movie as well as the real-life investigation.
Very highly recommended.
