...To be remembered...

Rating: 9/10 (21 August 2007)

Many people knew what the Zodiac killer was all about but none of us know who he is/was and never will.
Without a doubt, a majority of people who have watched this film will think that this is the best Hollywood has offered this year...'YET'...The reason as to why I'm saying that this movie will be remembered is because David Fincher managed to keep the sense of mystery alive throughout the movie. The same way he did it in THE GAME and PANIC ROOM. Very few directors manage to end up doing exactly that.
This film is by far Mark Ruffalo's finest work I have seen. Movies like 13 going on 30 and Just Like Heaven weren't even close. Gyllenhall has done a good job as usual. It was totally expected from him. However, Robert Downey Jr. was the ultimate package. He has always been underrated and I hope that this movie proves him other wise. He certainly stole every scene he was in this movie.
This movie is not about the killings. It is about the pursuit of the killer. The killings were no doubt appalling in real life but the manner in which the killer(s) were never caught is as intriguing.
The greatest accomplishment of this movie was that it did not leave any loopholes and there were not much questions asked at the end of the movie. Everybody now knows what had happened. Nonetheless, this movie is will certainly inspire you to read Graysmith's book, if you have not already. This movie will certainly inspire you to follow up on the entire zodiac killer legend.
