ZODIAC Two-Disc Director?s Cut Out on DVD - January 8th
I was really excited to see this movie on DVD. First of all, great cast! Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr., and Jake Gyllenhaal all looking really good in their 70s attire. I knew absolutely noting about the Zodiac killings, so, for me, the movie was really interesting. I would have liked to compare the Director?s Cut to the original theatrical cut, but I didn?t see it in theater. The movie is paced well, but frankly, I think it could have used a few cuts.
I really liked seeing a period piece set in the 1970s, you don?t get to see that era on film too often. If you?re a fan of the film, the extras are an added bonus. I always like DVD extras that expose the creative process in translating scenes from concept/visualization to film, and this 2 Disk Set doesn't disappoint.
Would make an excellent after-Christmas present to yourself, with one of those gift cards you received for Christmas! :)
