Another Zodiac viewer checking in.
Overall, good film. Heavier on the police drama than on the suspense, I thought. I'm squeamish about violence, but most of it occurs at the beginning. Long, but engrossing; be sure to pee first.
Robert Downey, Jr. was fantastic. I'm not a big Mark Ruffalo fan. Anthony Edwards looking like Mark Green from ER but with a hair piece.
Jake was great. Luckily, they did not give him a 70s hairdo. Very boy-scoutish, naive, scruffy. Uses his giant doe eyes to great effect. You can see the obsession building in him from the beginning.
It would have been interesting had they shown more of his personal/family life.
After the show, we were stopped by our local NBC affiliate, and they asked us to comment on the film for the evening news. We demurred.
A little trivia to anyone who sees it: do you recognize the Lee character and from where?
