Zodiac

Zodiac
This is actually a late entry do to school, and the fact that i was lazy to update my blog haha... but in any case let's get right into it!

This film was based off of the Real life Zodiac who was a serial killer in the San Francisco Bay area back in the 60's and 70's. The zodiac wrote letters to the police which in return created a whole investigation in finding this man. The movie follows various situation dealing with the Zodiac. First, obviously is the police investigation, second follows a comic artist who works for a newpaper and how he gets hooked, or rather more obessed with finding the Zodiac as well.

I would like to say that this film has to some extent an all star cast. Well maybe not an all star cast, but most of the faces that you see in this film are all recognizable if you are indeed a person that watches a lot of movies or television. The three famous faces in this film however are Jake Gyllenhaal who plays the animated artis Robert Graysmith, Mark Ruffalo who plays Inspector David Toschi, Anthony Edwards who plays Inspector William Armstrong, and Robert Downey Jr. who plays a writer for the newpaper, Paul Avery. I thought this cast did a really good job portraying all of the characters. MARK Ruffalo was intelligent and witty which made it really easy to like his portrayal of the inspector. Robert Downey Jr. was great in that his character brought comic relief throughout the movie using little one liner comments. This film runs for about two and a half hours. It's pretty long, but it's because the movie covers about thirty years of investigation. Overall i thought that the movie was great, its filled with mystery and suspense.
After comming home from watching this film, my bro went online to look for some zodiac stuff, and suprsingly they actually have some of the letters scanned from the zodiac, and it also shows the victims that he killed as well as some suspects that were invovled.
