A Bad Sign

Zodiac: Jake Gyllenhaal Warner Bros Entertainment/Paramount Pictures
Is it just me, or did anyone else think that Zodiac wasn’t all that? Friday, I was so excited for this movie. But now I’ve seen it. And I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but maybe I really should have plunked my dollars down for Wild Hogs. Aaahaha! Okay, I don’t really mean that, but here’s why Zodiac let me down. 
  • Jake Is an '80s Baby:  It’s true. He was born in 1980. He’s not a baby-baby, but he’s got this aristocratic young face that makes it hard for me to take him seriously as an adult-adult. He’s got presence, sure, but I can’t wait for him to be 35. Right now, he’s not quite a leading man, and he’s not quite Jennifer Aniston’s naive teenage lover. 
  • 160 Minutes Is a Lot of Minutes:  Yep, I smoke. So, I get anxious in the theater. Said nicotine cravings notwithstanding, Zodiac felt poorly paced. Scene for scene, it was taut. But scene after scene and dramatic focus after dramatic focus, it felt like a drag.
Zodiac: Chloe Sevigny Warner Bros Entertainment/Paramount Pictures
  • Give a Bitch a Break:  If you’re gonna put Chloë Sevigny in a movie, please give her more to do than cook dinner and sigh. Zodiac delivers zero compelling female characters. This hurts. Especially when you think about the great women Fincher’s brought us before, like Helena Bonham Carter in Fight Club. Waaah!
