Over the course of a decade, editors of the San Francisco Chronicle entice themselves in the murders of the Zodiac Killer. However, as time runs its course, interest in the case dwindles in the eyes of the professionals. The Killer stops interacting with the public. However, believing he has the answers, an amateur cartoonist from the initial sightings races against time to prevent what he believes is another murder.

"Hair was digitally added to the close-ups of Jake Gyllenhaal's knuckles as he draws or holds letters. David Fincher felt that Gyllenhaal's hands were too hairless and pretty."Happy 10th anniversary to this movie and Jake Gyllenhaal's pretty hands
Jake: Oh it’s fine I’ve only been waiting for (looks at watch) 2 hours, wow...Me: Oh, 2 hours? You think that’s a long time do you? 2 hours? 2 HOURS? Try 2 hours and 42 minutes Jake. Try waiting 2 hours and 42 minutes for the most promising suspect to fucking die before he can be arrested. But you know what makes it even harder, Jake? Try being ANGRY at this 2 hour 42 minute long movie that leaves you with absolutely no justice, just a shit ton of facts that add up to the arrest of one person who physically can’t be arrested and never will be when it’s SO informative with such a good cast and a great colour scheme consisting of a shade of yellow that shouldn’t even look good but does somehow and the tension in that fucking basement scene AND mark ruffalo’s sideburns. Try watching this 2 hour 42 minute long movie and being mad at it. 2 hours? I’ve sat through this 2 hour 42 minute film at least 4 times, Jake, if not more. That’s at least 648 minutes. 10 hours 48 minutes. What did YOU do, Jake? You hung around my desk. You went through my trash. Oh, yeah, and you went to the library. You fucking coward. Shut up and eat your cookies. 2 hours.
