Zodiac (2007) (DVD) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

In the late 1960s, Northern California was terrorized by a notorious killer who dubbed himself "e; Zodiac"e;, taunting the police with letters & encrypted messages, while also leaving a trail of bodies in his wake. Director David Fincher ( Seven, Fight Club) brings the story of the Zodiac Killer to the big screen in the acclaimed thriller Zodiac, which details the true story of the investigators who made it their mission to bring Zodiac to justice. Fincher & his team spent well over a year researching the film, even conducting their own investigations in order to deliver the most accurate cinema portrayal of the events surrounding the Zodiac Killer.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Robert Graysmith, a cartoonist at the San Francisco Chronicle drawn into the Zodiac Killer investigation when he receives encrypted messages supposedly sent by Zodiac. Meanwhile, San Francisco police detectives Dave Toschi (Mark Ruffalo) & Bill Armstrong (Anthony Edwards) launch their own investigation, crossing paths with crime reporter Paul Avery (Robert Downey, Jr.), as well as other investigators, beginning an investigation that would span nearly three decades. A riveting & uncommon studio release, Zodiac is a film of great integrity, eschewing Hollywood-style grandstanding for a multi-layered piece thats fascinating & exacting in its detail. Zodiac is a compelling police procedural, a disturbing serial killer thriller, & a revealing study of the obsession required to discover the truth. Highly anticipated by both critics & cineastes alike, the film screened in competition at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
