Genre: Crime/Thriller/Mystery
Starring: Jake Gyllenhall, Robert Downey Jr., Mark Ruffalo
A true-life incident of mass murders taking place in San Fransisco in the 1970's. The press and police are stunned when the killer, calling himself 'The Zodiac', sends out cryptic messages and leaves absolutely no trail behind. Cartoonist for the San Fransisco Chronicle, Robert Graysmith, (Gyenhall) becomes obsessed with the case and along with his fellow journalist Paul Avery, (Downing) they together get cracking at the case. Murders keep taking and Inspector David Toschi (Ruffalo) remains puzzled. Each suspect that is apprehended proves one way or the other that he is not the Zodiac. Time passes and no lead uncovers. Graysmith decides to use the information he has collected to publish a book on the killings (the movie apparently is based on this very book). It is said that the murderer is still at large and no real suspect has been identified. The movie is very gripping and highly dramatic. Can be classified as one of the best crime movies ever made.
Rating: 8.2/10
