WOW!!!
I was 10 years old and living in San Mateo when Zodiac began his reign of terror. I remember the collective fear in the Bay Area, the curfews and my own fear of riding the bus to school.
This movie was amazing at portraying and capturing the mood of the times! Gyllenhaal, Ruffalo and Downey Jr. did their homework and it shows, they are my new acting heros!! And the excellece acting extends to every person in this movie. Everything in the movie felt completely real thanks to this and all of the visuals such as costuming, hairstyles, cars, even a cool old mail truck. And the song "Hurdy Gurdy Man" lent it's own creepy mood to the movie, I couldn't get it out of my head.
In closing, this movie wasn't too long for me and it didn't feel like a 2 1/2 hour movie. I was left wanting more so I came home and found a great Zodiac website where I read even more details and today I'm off to buy the book!
