David Finchers rendention of the Robert Graysmith books about the real life notorious Zodiac, a serial killer who terrorized San Francisco with a string of seemingly random murders during the 1960s and 1970s is chilling to say the least. The story line moves very fast with no let up. Scene after scene builds on the last as David Fincher build the suspense of what could have happened and what should have happened. I loved this movie but I have to admit I am not so much the horror type. So, some of the scenes really touched me, some to the point that I had to look away. But I loved the way the main characters constructed a case till the point they got to sit down and look the so called killer right in the eye.
Throughout the movie Robert Graysmith played by Jake Gyllenhaal becomes obsessed with find out who is behind all letters, the voices and mystery of the zodiac. He get so obsessed that he alienates his family and eventually sacrifices his love wife to continue looking for the zodiac. Robert Graysmith is on a mission. Not only is he researching for his book but also he is trying to crack the case when everyone else has forgotten about the case and wrote it off. Robert tracks down every lead that he can find with a little help from Inspector David Toschi played by Mark Ruffalo.
This movie is not for the faint in heart. It keeps you on the edge of your seat continuously guessing as to what is missing. What is everyone not see and how could they find it. This film also touches on the psychic of a serial killer that has not been caught. This one fact make this film even more creepy. Don't let your children or young teenagers take a look at this movie. This is defiantly an adult movie for mature adults. If you’re an adult and you like suspenseful movies this one is for you.

Joe Kingman played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a self centered, ego centric superstar quarterback who has everything in life. He is rich, a superstar and is about to clinch a championship if he can keep his head in the game. But his superstar lifestyle is interrupted when he learns that he meets his 7-year daughter for the first time. He has to now learn how to become a father, how to keep the team focused and not disappoint his magnificent city and fans.
The Game Plan was not so much a surprised hit for me. I have followed Dwayne movies since he left the WWE and he has always delivered a strong performance with plenty of depth in his parts. This movie was not an exception. Dwayne delivered a heart filled act that left you either rooting or crying in your seat. I loved the scene where the Rock learns how to do ballet. I would not have ever thought I would have seen the Rock do anything like this. But he seems real focused on the task. This turns out to be a great comedy scene with the whole team.
Joe Kingman and Peyton Kelly (Madison Pettis) grow a bond that had me crying in the end. Don’t be surprised if a tear or two roll down your cheek. You will see what I mean when you see it.
I can’t forget to say something about Madison Pettis as Peyton Kelly. As a newcomer Madison had me rolling in the alias with her straight to the point logic. She was quick and was able to hang with everything that Joe Kingman could dish out.
Other supporting cast included Kyra Sedgwick as Joe’s PR manager and Roselyn Sanchez as the ballet coach and eventually a love interest with Joe Kingman. Other supporting casts include Morris Chestnut, Brian White, Gordan Clapp, Jamal Duff and many more.
This is definitely a must see for the whole family. I brought my daughter and 3 sons to see this one and they all enjoyed ever second on the movie. There is a lot of comedy and their aren’t any parts that could be offensive sexually. Cursing, you will not find one bad word in this film. This is truly a Walt Disney movie that will be a classic.
Rated PG - For the whole family
