It’s 1969, and the San Francisco Chronicle receives letters from serial killer ‘Zodiac'. Reporter Paul Avery (Downey Jr.) covers the case, frustrating cops David Toschi (Ruffalo) and Bill Armstrong (Edwards). Years pass, until only Chronicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Gyllenhaal) is still in pursuit.
It is fascinating and I learned a lot about the case but a little long. It reminded me of All The President's Men but just not as good. Maybe because the performances are less memorable and it doesn't build to anything, that film had the resignation of Nixon but this is anti-climatic.
