There's no better movie director in my mind than David Fincher, an honor granted due to his work in the excellent Se7en, as well as Fight Club . He has made 4 other movies, most impressive of which is The Game. Zodiac, his latest, has among the most complex storylines in movie experience and I leave it unrated for I don't know what I can say about it, other than that I expected it to have been treated with stylistic flair (as was the case with Fight Club and Panic Room), but Fincher decided to refrain.
One notable thing is Mark Ruffalo's lead detective, the movie's best performance. It's the kind of performance (vocal and physical) I've never seen before.
