Search: Starring Shane West

Writers Jennifer Archer and Mike Horrigan correctly surmise that the key to making a Zodiac story compelling is not horror but mystery.

The film becomes a mere series of incidents, superficial, where a little more development could have made a big difference.

Director/co-writer Emerson Moore has crafted a superior example of its type thanks to decent character work, puzzles which actually present a challenge, and a capable lead.

This show has great drama, writing and it’s as funny as it is moving.

Despite a plot that reads like something out of Teen Romance, the film has great style and a wicked sense of humour.

Is the action packed? Certainly. Does it add up to anything? No.

If you’re in it for the gore and grotesquerie...you’ll find a good deal to satisfy you, but it does give the impression of wanting to deliver in more sophisticated ways as well.

The first half is packed with clues and double entendres. The second becomes more about action.

Manipulating emotions matters most when the plot is weak. They throw everything in the candy store at this one.
