- 40The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttFew films have ever ended on such a low, anti-climatic note as The Zodiac.
- 30L.A. WeeklyL.A. WeeklyThe Zodiac regurgitates a lifetime of police-thriller conventions, adding an aura of laughable solemnity in the hope of making the plot seem less banal.
- 30Los Angeles TimesKevin CrustLos Angeles TimesKevin CrustUnfortunately, the film lacks the suspense and drama to carry the psychological burden placed on it by its makers. Plot strands are dropped like so much lint, and it ends so abruptly that you wonder whether the filmmakers ran out of money, ideas or both.
