Fincher at his Directorial Best

Rating: 10/10 (21 August 2018)

It is hard to tell a story well that has no climax and no cinematic conclusion or resolution. But Fincher excels at that in this movie. The case may have been on the newspaper reports throughout the late 60s and the early 70s, but Fincher's direction adds a new dimension for viewers, the lived experience of anyone living during that time and near those scenes of crime. The movie wonderfully captures the aura of the feeling of dread of the unknown assailant.
