For now, I'll just say 'adhu oru karuthu' and move on. Addressing point by point would take time, and I'm relatively busy at the moment. Let me just say I like both the films. But in a very assured manner, I'd take Zodiac over Citizen X any day of the week and twice on Sundays. In my fleeting tweets, it should be apparent how high I place this film in Fincher's oeuvre. Actually at the very top.

Yeah, I kinda understand from your/equa tweets what they were trying to do. I was just saying/ thinging out loud why it didn't work for me.
btw I wouldn't watch Citizen X again.
I found it quite eventless and thus 'boring'. But I guess the movie couldn't have been made any other way. The languid pace was important to communicate the heaviness.

Boys Don't Cry (1999)
A movie based on the real life story of a trans-gendered person. Hilary Swank plays Teena Brandon, the transgender - biologically born as female but identifies self as a male.
Swank makes friends with a group of junkies and does everything to be considered as an adrenaline-filled man. Swank also falls in love with a girl from the group, but hides the truth and plans to be with her after a sex change operation. But the group comes to know of Swank’s true identity and Swank’s dreams are blown to pieces.
I didn't know what to expect, so I started the movie with a blank mind. But it was hard-hitting and thought provoking to say the least. It didn't attempt to be preachy or take a stand but mostly stuck to the facts of the original Teena’s story. And the facts were more than enough to leave me with a heavy heart. The harsh reality of the way trans-genders are looked down even in this 21st century is a bit hard to digest. The hero/heroine never really blames anybody else for their discriminatory actions and that was even more painful.
Hilary Swank – I am awestruck. The guts she must have had to play a transgender is commendable. Her performance matches her guts in every scene, especially the tragic scenes. Kudos to the director as well for making such a difficult story into a movie. The climax scene is very distressing.
The movie has nudity and a lot of disturbing scenes.
I would definitely recommend the movie as a must watch for all drama lovers.

Better to stay away from this one. Nothing much in this movie, even the action sequences are pretty boring.
Trying to break free from the all-action path of Ong Bak 2, this part tries to develop the story and build up to a big bang climax. The build-up is yawn inducing and the climax itself is a big disappointment.

No, the fight scenes are not good and there is nothing new in these fights either. I could count 3-4 fight scenes which add up to about 15 minutes. But to see those fights you would have to put up with 1.15 hours of following:
1) Hero gets beaten up and is in unsaveable state.
2) Heroine prays to the Almighty to save the hero.
3) A medical/super-natural miraakil saves the hero.
4) Heroine looks after the hero during recovery.
5) Hero is devastated at his current state and attempts suicide.
6) Elderly man reminds hero of his destiny.
7) Heroine teaches Hero dance (some touching touching, avanga relationship-a kaattaraangalaama).
8) Hero combines dance and martial arts to fulfill his destiny.
