Good but, a bit too long

Rating: Null/10 (17 March 2007)

I love David Fincher's past films but, this one was kind of hard to watch. Because it's a true story film that you know how it ends. I kept wanting to see more killings happen because they were exciting but, the investigations just dragged on and on. The acting was very good it made up for the slow plot. Robert Downey Jr. was interesting to see playing a writer turning into a drug addict. The 1960's & 1970's period was done with great detail, the production design was great!! They really captured the period. Over all the film was just a little too long for me especially because I knew how it would end. It made me wonder sometimes if they would do fictional Hollywood ending.
