Zodiac

The True story of the serial killer in California who was never actually caught. The Story is told from the Police and a Crime Reporter and a Political Cartoonist who works for San Francisco. Had the whole state of California. Robert Downey Jr Who plays Paul Avery is very good in his role at trying to get the Zodiac come out and show himself of course he never does but Jake Gyllenhall. who plays Robert Greysmith the political cartoonist for the san Francisco. Is very good and really gets into the case. The two cops played a really good role in san Francisco trying to get this case solved. Mark Ruffalo and Anthony Edwards play the SFPD inspectors and have a great chemistry on screen. Anthony Edwards Character gets burnt out and just quits on his partner. The Police give up there case when he hasn't killed for 4 years but Robert does it on his own. the techniques of the Police back then where so outdated compared to what we have know. They go after 2500 suspects plus Mark Ruffalo who is inspector Dave Toschi is pinned for one of the letters and kicked off the Case. The Zodiac sends a cypher to Robert.He is so obessed with the Zodiac his wife fears for his and her kids. Zodiac killed 8 wounded 2. the only really solid leads they had on of the men Arthur Leigh Allen Died before they could bring him up on charges in 1991. So the Zodiac Case is still open. Is a very good accurate movie of what actually happened.
