There are three contemporary directors who I believe revolutionized genre filmmaking: David Fincher, Quentin Tarantino and Christopher Nolan. What Fincher did with thriller genre, no director has been able to do since Alfred Hitchcock. When you look at the box office collections of his movies, you will see that how well they have done. The two movies that haven’t done well — ‘Fight Club’ and ‘Zodiac’ — are actually among his best. That tells you all about what you want to know about Fincher’s filmmaking. If you don’t like the film in the first viewing watch them again. Your opinion is sure to change.
