David Fincher’s Zodiac Redefined True Crime Thrillers

With a 90% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7.7 on IMDb, David Fincher’s Zodiac is a remarkably realistic film. It moved beyond the typical thriller format, exploring the difficulty of truly knowing the truth in a serial killer case. Rather than simply recounting the events, Zodiac fundamentally changed the way true crime stories could be presented on film.
