CGiii Comment
There is no reason why this was made - no sweeping revelations, no resolution - just as it remains in real life...a mystery.
Stylish with a concrete cast...pity it misses the target completely.

The(ir) Blurb...
A serial killer in the San Francisco Bay Area taunts police with his letters and cryptic messages. We follow the investigators and reporters in this lightly fictionalized account of the true 1970's case as they search for the murderer, becoming obsessed with the case. Based on Robert Graysmith's book, the movie's focus is the lives and careers of the detectives and newspaper people.
