Zodiac

Ride or Die Struggles in semis, clutch in finals
2007 · Crime, Mystery, Thriller · David Fincher

Underestimate Zodiac in a final at your own risk. At 53% overall the numbers suggest mediocrity — until you isolate the last round. Fincher's most obsessive film about obsession itself, rewarding the patient and losing the restless. The voters who rank it among his best are unwavering in that conviction.

Synopsis

The Zodiac murders cause the lives of Paul Avery, David Toschi and Robert Graysmith to intersect.

Where it thrives

Something happens between the semis and the final. At 38%, Zodiac looks beatable. At 73% in the final, it suddenly isn't. The later rounds concentrate the audience that cares most.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at 50% is as close to a dead heat as the platform produces. Every vote matters in this one. Zodiac beats Gone Girl (100%) and The Game (100%) convincingly. Fight Club at 30% is where the dominance ends.
