Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2008)

Wow,, this movie was shocking yet compelling in the same way,, taking place in the 70's for a time,, this is the childhood that i grew up with,, although i have no personal recollection of this being a young child,, but this movie is very interesting to say the least, i love how all of the police seem so baffled, and yet cannot solve the case,, the different counties, and cities that are involved, and the confusion about which department has which evidence, and the involvement with the reporter's makes it sort of seem like Ted Bundy meets All the Presidents Men,, heck i was waiting for Deep Throat to make a cameo in the movie.. all in all though that i have to say that this is a very compelling movie that really cannot be missed by anyone that has any ounce of curiosity in them,, pretty much the only thing that i didn't like about the movie , was the ending,, but hey,, not enough to deter from the over all picture,, which would 9 times out of 10 subtract at least 1 from my personal rating, but not this time though,, this movie was strong enough to overcome this,,,the acting was very strong in here, Jake Gyllenhal was great,, and so was everyone else for that matter, Robert Downey Jr.. great also,, the film will leave you breathless with anticipation, if you can get over how confusing it is.. but hey you know what they say about patience,,,
