David Fincher has been my favorite director since I first watched 1995’s “Seven” at a far too young age. Since then, I’ve watched (and rewatched) Fincher's remarkable filmography more times than I can count, and rank several of his movies among my favorite films ever made.
One of those is “Zodiac,” a mystery thriller released back in March 2007, and that chronicles the desperate hunt for the eponymous Zodiac Killer as he waged a campaign of terror on the San Francisco Bay Area through the late 1960s and into the early 1970s. With Fincher’s meticulous craft and ability to spin a dark story that grips throughout, this grim real-life killer makes for perfect material for the American director to craft another masterpiece.
