Zodiac
Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, Chloe Sevigny
Zodiac covers the investigations into a notorious serial killer in the San Francisco region during the late 1960s and into the 1970s. The murders themselves get a little airtime in the first third of the movie, but after that it is all a brilliant exposition on what fear, terror and obsession can do to a society and more particularly to an individual. Robert Graysmith (Jake G) becomes obsessed with Zodiac after the case has already worn out Detective Dave Tosci (Ruffalo) and reporter Paul Avery (Downey Jr), and makes it his life's work to find out who the killer was. A deceiving set of conflicting evidence is driving everyone around the bend (most of all Graysmith), but his persistence is admirable.
Brilliant movie, excellent acting, amazing story.
