In Reply to: Zodiac - what's the verdict before I commit to watch? Nt posted by geoffkait on February 17, 2018 at 07:56:05:
Having grown up in the 70's (Southern, not Northern California), I felt that the filmmakers captured the look perfectly. The performances were great, and I liked it very much. I especially like Robert Downey's small part. The trouble with the movie is that, as in reality, they never catch the real killer. That makes it a kind of a long slog to get to nowhere. Kind of like real life. The real cop portrayed by Mark Ruffalo just passed away a few weeks ago. He was a self-promoter, and kind of messed up his own reputation. I have a blu-ray, and have watched it several times. Love the era, the sad story and the film. Fincher's one of the best.
