The true story behind the murders that many scholars believe to be the most perplexing series of unsolved crimes in modern history comes to the screen in chilling detail courtesy of Fincher (FIGHT CLUB). A relentless serial killer is stalking the streets of San Francisco, leaving citizens in a state of panic and baffling the authorities with the ciphers and menacing letters he leaves at the murder scenes. As four detectives remain steadfastly devoted to bringing the elusive killer to justice, they soon realise that he has control not only over their careers, but also over the rest of their lives. A welcome return to the territory Fincher first explored in SE7EN, the tone is suitably tense and the lead performances are uniformly impressive.
