Summary:
The “Zodiac” was a serial killer who haunted the San Francisco Bay Area in the late 1960s, taunted the police and newspapers with encrypted letters -- and was never caught. The Zodiac claimed he killed as many as 37 people, but only five victims (and two survivors) are officially confirmed.
Zodiac Dvd Cover
David Fincher’s Zodiac film is based on the two books by Robert Graysmith.
Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a cartoonist at the San Francisco Chronicle and is immediately interested in the Zodiac’s encrypted letters sent to the Chronicle, the Police and other newspapers and follows the case with crime reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.). Police detective Dave Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) is one of the men working on the Zodiac case whose life is slowly destroyed by the frustrating, fruitless work, as is Paul Avery’s.
The police has already closed the case when Robert Graysmith gets more and more obsessed with solving the crime. Graysmith collects all available evidence and becomes an expert on the Zodiac killings -- but in the process he, too, loses his job, his wife and his kids.
Review: A good thriller based on a good book, more detective oriented…
