Saw, Zodiac last night and it was pretty amazing. Probably the first really great movie this year. As Dave said, towards the middle it slows down a tad, but only for about 30 minutes, which isn't much considering the film is nearly 3 hours. Aside from that slight hiccup the movie kept me entertained the entire time.
Robert Downey Jr., Jake Gyllenhaal, and Mark Ruffalo were all excellent. And I'd definitely say that Jake Gyllenhaal has cemented himself as one of the top A-list actors around at the moment. Hopefully Mark Ruffalo can avoid any more romantic comedy roles for the time being and stick to more serious fare such as this.
I definitely recommend this film. It's too bad that 300 is coming out next weekend and is most likely going to just gobble all the other movies up in it's wake. But I can't wait for it.
