A serial killer in the San Francisco Bay Area taunts police with his letters and cryptic messages. We follow the investigators and reporters in this lightly fictionalized account of the true 1970's case as they search for the murderer, becoming obsessed with the case. Based on Robert Graysmith's book, the movie's focus is the lives and careers of the detectives and newspaper people.
A great investigation and look into the many different suspects of the Zodiac killer. Jake Gyllenhaal, Anthony Edwards, Robert Downey Jr., and Mark Ruffalo (yes, romantic comedy "superstar" Mark Ruffalo) were all enjoyable. I'm really happy to see Robert Downey Jr. kicking a$$ onscreen. This movie just makes me wanna see next year's IRON MAN film even more now. As for Mr. Fincher, I'd rank this as my third favorite film of his behind FIGHT CLUB and SE7EN.
