  "Zodiac" Review
  
  I enjoyed the story, it kept on me the edge of my seat. I would recommend 'Zodiac' to anyone who is a fan of crime/thriller's.

  OK but very long and not one I would recommend
  
  This film was just OK, it was watchable but very long and disappointing at the end. Not one I would recommend or would want to watch again.

  Good if shorter
  
  Good Film if only it was shorter. Definately drawn out & got a bit boring towards the end only stuck with it to find out the who the Zodiac was.
