COMPULSION

Today's film was

Zodiac (2007)

with Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey, and Mark Ruffalo.

The obsession of a detective, a career crime reporter and a simple cartoonist with a thing for codes shows how each deals with the story taking over their lives. All different. Only the geek gets to the end with it.

This sprawling story had to be a mess to corral and tied down.

I think they did a pretty good job.

It is long but it covers a long time.

I liked the news room scenes.

Some of the night photography really sets you up for 'something' to happen.

Some of the dialogue gets lost in the critical street shots.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
