For real though, how great was Mark Ruffalo? I think he gets overshadowed by Gyllenhaal and Downey Jr., but to me his performance was arguably the best of all.

I didn't know Graysmith actually met Allen in real life, I just thought that they made that for the movie.

[RandomHorror]

That moment when you realise Iron Man, Hulk and Mysterio hunt the Zodiac Killer!

Still David Fincher's finest hour as a filmmaker.

This movie is everything… I watch it every time I want to be scared David Fincher is masterful… Robert Downey Jr. is amazing as always and Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo are OUTSTANDING….But out of all of the performances in this movie which were all Oscar worthy… David Carroll Lynch as Arthur Lee Allen was chilling and The best performance of the whole film. “I’m not the zodiac… And even if I were? I wouldn’t tell you”

If I ever get the chance in the afterlife my two biggest questions would be who is the real identity of the Zodiac Killer and who is the real identity of Jack the Ripper is. Because I’m just that curious

[Lu-vxld]

Oh man I’m so relieved that Avery lived a better life

[grmpghst]

Proven or not, Arthur Leigh Allen will always be zodiac to me.

Zodiac’s one of the best serial killer movies of all times. Even if you don’t like the genre, it’s still a must-watch just for Jake Gyllenhaal’s, Mark Ruffalo’s and Robert Downey Jr.’s performances. 👍👍

Zodiac is one of the best movies of all time IMO.

That was way before Tony and Quentin Beck became enemies after Tony fired him!!!

You are straight up wrong about Hartnell and Sheperd, they DID date in the past but were just friends when they went to the lake, and David Fincher knew this. That's why he has Hartnell correct her about what course he's been studying "pre-law, actually". He added that to imply that they were not as close as you might think at first when you see them cuddled up next to the lake.

OMG This movie is SO GOOD!! I love David Fincher!

[nicholaidraai]

What if the Zodiac was a collective? More than one killer? Like the Son of Sam conspiracy?

[Ice-Crime]

my mind say.."what if leigh and gary francis are the executor..rick marshall was the brain of code..and vaughn is the writer of the letter..and how the couple know the code so fast?

[coopervorhees]

The whole cast of this movie was perfect and Ruffalo was AMAZING!!! This movie is a must watch for sure!

[OrchestrationOnline]

😄"Melvin Belly..." That's pronounced "BELL-eye."

[shashankab]

I still don't understand what happened when graysmith visited Vaughan

[CSC]

I'm still convinced that it was Arthur Leigh Allen. The evidence was there!
