A young woman at the office told me she had seen the movie "Zodiac" and that it was terrible, boring, unbearable.And that all the young people had left the theater hating such a slow movie. Which meant I wanted to see this movie. Nothing says "movie masterpiece" like a thumbs down from someone from the video game generation.
And I was right again. This is a terrific movie about the unsolved serial killer murders in 1970's San Francisco. We see as detectives try to solve this case. And since this is real life, and not Hollywood life, it takes a lot of hard work, following false leads to make some sense of the killings. Or maybe to find out that they don't make any sense or follow any pattern.
Yes, it is a slow movie. Besides being set in the 1970's, the movie has a 1970's pace to it. Curiously so coming from director David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club)who specializes in wam-bang movies.
This is a movie for people who like their mysteries real. Who enjoy the slow pace of detective work. A movie for people who enjoy a film that provides no easy answers.
It's playing at the Metro in Santurce.
