A true thriller set in the fog of San Francisco

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2014)

David Fincher's "Zodiac" is based on the non-fiction book of the same title by the films main character Robert Graysmith. It spans from 1969 to 1991 following the trail of the infamous Zodiac killer who leaves notes and cyphers to the San Francisco Chronicle and other newspapers in the San Francisco and Vallejo area to gain fame. Cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal) who works at the Chronicle starts getting into the investigation after it dies down years later he uncovers the trail including its investigators. One of them being David Toschi (Mark Ruffalo). I have liked Fincher's films in the past and I liked this one as well. I thought that the acting screenplay and cinematography were outstanding especially the role of Zodiac portrayed wonderfully by John Caroll Lynch.
