However, it would have been a better four hours in front of the television (and perhaps the director's cut dvd will prove us both wrong at three hours and eight minutes.) As for the lack of style, let me clarify, there wasn't anything in "Zodiac" that screamed style the way "Fight Club" or "Panic Room" did.
