Zodiac

From 1966 to 1978, the Zodiac Killer claimed victim after victim in the San Francisco Bay area, repeatedly taunting law-enforcement authorities with direct messages bragging about his deeds. The killer is officially blamed for six murders, but claimed to have killed some 37 people and could have been responsible for as many as 50.

Obsession. It can destroy the lives of some and drive others to greatness. On the surface, this movie is about the Zodiac Killer but what makes the movie outstanding is the obsession of the men trying to discover who the Zodiac is. Se7en is an excellent movie. Zodiac comes awfully close. While Zodiac doesn't have the imaginative murders that Se7en does, Zodiac will grip you from start to finish. Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr. are excellent in this film and may be in line for Oscars next year. Excellent movie that slows down a bit in the middle, but the 2 hr. 40 min. runtime doesn't feel long at all.

R-rated serial killer movie. Violence and language abound. No nudity or sexual situations.

One of the better movies I've seen in a while, Zodiac is great movie about one of the most notorious serial killers in American History. If you enjoyed Se7en, you'll probably like Zodiac.
