In the late 1960s and 1970s, fear grips the city of San Francisco as a serial killer called Zodiac stalks its residents. Investigators (Mark Ruffalo, Anthony Edwards) and reporters (Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr.) become obsessed with learning the killer's identity and bringing him to justice. Meanwhile, Zodiac claims victim after victim and taunts the authorities with cryptic messages, cyphers and menacing phone calls.

I'm recording it I've got a bit of a headache , so I am off to bed ....otherwise I would watch it with you ....but I will put my comments up once I've watched it .

Good cast and nice looking story.

Good night baz sleep well. 

Nope, but reading back on your precis....I thought it was about astrology  I guess I was wrong.....not that I tend to believe in that kind of thing  

The Zodiac killer despatched that last two quite nastily. I have a low tolerance for violence. 

Worth a watch on iPlayer if it appears.

Watching it now 

Saw it in the cinema.

It's very good.

Was about to post my sign (not that i care too much for astrology) realised i read this book by it's cover 

It was really shaping up into a good film until I nodded off. 

Will defo need to finish it off though.

What did you think Rog (no spoilers please as I am going to re-watch). 

Its not just the murders but the effect on the lives of those trying to catch the killer EC. Its v gripping  Hope you enjoy it.

Haven't there been a few different film versions about the zodiac killer? Or am I thinking of documentaries?

There's been a few: "Dirty Harry" was loosely based on the Zodiac killings (the killer in that film calls himself "Scorpio").

I've just watched it ....as a who dunnit fan I did enjoy it ...but I felt the editing and filming left something to be desired ....at times it seemed jerky, muddled and muffled.....all of which made the whole thing feel laboured . 

I've never seen Dirty Harry. 

I've got it in my head that I watched a film about this in the 90's.

After watching the Zodiac movie (again) I went onto YouTube to look up this subject and theres a documentary called "This Is The Zodiac Speaking" and it is brilliant.

I think I've seen about four or five different documentaries on this killer. It's intriguing and unsolved to date, although in a couple of the documentaries I've seen I'm sure evidence was put forward as to who the killer was...  if I remember I think one guy cracked part of the code. 

You NEVER seen Dirty Harry!

So you have not seen the famous "Do you (I) feel lucky punk?" 

They think some guy called Arthur Lee Allen did the murders...I've got an Audio book about the crime and it suggests maybe a guy from England (amongst other suspects) may have done it....but you are right, it's very intriguing.
