Zodiac

Based on the actual case files of one of the most intriguing unsolved crimes in the nation’s history, Zodiac is a thriller from David Fincher, the director who gave audiences Seven and Fight Club. A fascinating and uncompromising tale, Zodiac centres on the four men who become obsessed with capturing the legendary Bay Area serial killer known as the Zodiac.

The case started in 1968 when two teenagers out on a date were shot in their car in California, leaving the girl dead. Taunting his pursuers with letters, written in code and sent to local newspapers, the killer struck again on the Fourth of July, 1969, when he stabbed a couple picnicking by a lake in Napa County. His third strike came in San Francisco, where he shot a cabdriver in the back of the head and narrowly escaped capture.

A haunting and riveting film, Zodiac’s main focus is Robert Graysmith (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) an awkward and shy political cartoonist for the San Francisco Chronicle who wrote two best-selling books about the Zodiac. Also on the path of the killer is the Chronicle’s ace crime reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey Jr.) who is fighting his own demons. SFPD’s homicide detective Dave Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) and his partner, William Armstrong (Anthony Edwards) add to the drama of a hunt for a killer whose true identity remains unknown to today.
