Last night Doug and I sat down after dinner hoping to find something to watch on television. He needed to work and I wanted to start the Great Pumpkin puzzle. We talked about finding a thriller since it was so close to Halloween, but nothing really jumped out at us until I started searching through our free streaming channels on Roku. I realized that there was a movie called Zodiac that we had never seen before. I started reading the reviews and I couldn't believe that we had never heard of it as the ratings were extremely high and it starred Robert Downey Jr. Thus, we thought we'd give it a try and soon we were hooked.
The movie was based on the Zodiac Killer who terrorized California during the late 1960s until the mid 1970s. He committed heinous crimes and sent chilling messages to the local newspapers. The reviews said that it would be intense from start to finish and we completely agreed. We hated turning it off last night and couldn't wait to finish it this evening. The reporter that wrote the book that the movie was based on felt that he solved the crime implicating a top suspect. As the case was never solved and there were other men who fit the profile, the murderer may never be known. Even without a resolution, we were extremely happy with our find.
