Rating: 8 out of 10, A very, very smart movie. I never saw this movie until this past weekend which surprised me given the cast and Fincher as the director. This is the story of the infamous San Francisco serial killer of the late 1960s and early 1970s. I knew they never caught the guy but this look at the manhunt was fascinating. The entire cast delivers and there is a realistic edge that allows the viewer to see these people warts and all. The story is obviously based on the book written by Jake G’s character and he predictably comes off the best. The real star of this movie though is Ruffalo who is pitch perfect as the harried and dedicated police inspector who gets it right but can’t get anyone to believe him.
MVP: Ruffalo as Inspector David Toschi the San Francisco detective who’s frustration seemed to leap off the screen
