Brilliance

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2008)

Amazingly smart and amazingly brilliant this grisly movie explores the mysterious Zodiac murders and has one brilliant cast. Jake Gyllanhall is great as a cartoonist slowly driven to madness trying to solve the puzzle. Robert Downey Jr is magnificent as a reporter who ends up as a washed up drunk. Mark Ruffolo is also good in this intelligent thriller directed by the brilliant David Fincher. What a resume! Fight Club, Seven, Panic Room and now Zodiac. He solidified his position as one of the most unique talents in Tinseltown long ago and this does nothing to wreck that reputation. I look forward to future works. The most weird thing to this is it is never solved. It is an unsolved case!!! A mystery for the ages.
8/10
