The movie tries to throw light on one of the biggest high profile mysteries of the 20th century - who is the serial killer Zodiac. Knowing this is an unsolved case, I debated whether it is worth watching. I watched it for the strong cast, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr. And Mark Ruffalo.
I can't say I am disappointed. The movie explored the case through view points of reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey, Jr) and cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal). It seems more about the characters - their devotion and even obsession about solving the case, rather than solving the case. I don't think the film gets closer to "finding out" who was Zodiac. The acting is good. Some of the scenes are intense. Overall a good film.
