I'll say what I told you in chat: It's a good concept that leads to some well executed ideas and they nail the stressful atmosphere, but it does have many flaws. I liked Circle better even though it was kind of stupid.

Analyze This. Forgot how freaking funny this was. DeNiro's best comedic role and him and Crystal together are ****ing gold.

Zodiac. David Fincher is brilliant. What a creepy flick based on real events.
The interview scene with the cops and Arthur Leigh Allen is chilling as is the scene when Graysmith confronts Allen at the store.

I think that it's a great film as well, but what keeps it from getting a full 5/5 from me is that it feels like more of a by the numbers film when I know that Fincher is capable of taking some very successful chances. Still a 4.5/5 though, very well crafted and shot.

i've always felt it was a bit too long, there are quite a few parts that always seem to drag along.
