This movie is like background noise. I literally took a huge dump, came back and missed nothing. In fact i began writing this review while the movie was wrapping up so i kinda sorta missed the ending which is supposed to be thd best part. Nope.. lucky that blonde is cute. . Anyways the Zodiac in the end is nothing worth waiting for... lame sauce dude

I'll make this a short review since there is a couple longer ones already. Basically, a young couple and their friend decide to track down the zodiac killer to receive the $100.000 reward, so they start investigating. However, their behavior is absolutely ridiculous with no sense for consequences and danger at all. They have the maturity of toddlers and the intelligence you would expect from the average, stereotypical victims in horrormovies. This is very frustrating since the movie and the basic plot sound really good and could've easily made an 8/10 movie if executed well. I'd recommend the movie if you're looking for light entertainment and don't get fed up by the protagonists making predictable decisions. The movie itself is alright but you can't watch it without rooting for the bad guy because the protagonists are absolute morons and poorly written. Not even mentioning the end which is poor garbage and doesn't wrap up the film at all - pretty fitting for the movie...

I found this a fine take of a latter day search for the elusive Zodiac killer, it does not consist of gratuitous violence or depreved scenes to fill a movie, instead it relies on the engagement you get from a couple down and out in thier financial luck, stumbling across a very dangerous treasure map. & in lies the layers that make up this movie. All of the cast are very well played throughout the movie making it an easy film to watch and get lost in thier search and emotions, and for this i give it a solid 8/10

I like the 3 three main actors so I was really glad we found this on Hulu. It was suspenseful and a clever story idea. Good action movie until the last scene. That was the dumbest way to end this movie. Why oh why did they do that??

Horrible movie. I had to fast forward through a lot. Leslie was the only reason I chose to watch it. Everyone except the dude "Harvey" had a crap script. Bolt action rifle suddenly turns into a semiautomatic. I'm no director but I guarantee I'd have done better. Details guy jeez. Or maybe I'm just OCD?

Over 40 years since the infamous Zodiac killer terrorised inhabitants of San Francisco and surrounds, three people make an amazing discovery. They stumble across homemade films made by the Zodiac Killer, films of some of his murders. In an attempt to claim a large reward, rather than alert the police, they try to track down the killer themselves. This puts them in danger. Pretty lame B-grade (at best) thriller. When I read the film summary I figured the movie was set in the 1960s, when the Zodiac Killer was at the peak of his infamy, making the danger more tangible. Having seen the excellent David Fincher-directed 2007 movie, Zodiac, I thought this may be something along those lines. When I discovered it was actually set in 2017, my heart sank. Even if the killer is still alive, he's in their late-60s, at least, so what kind of thriller is this going to be? A dull, implausible, contrived one, I thought, and I was right. Unoriginal, filled with every thriller/horror cliché, implausible, predictable, unengaging and quite dull. The Zodiac element was just a ploy to suck viewers in. Avoid.

The characters are so dumb in this film. How do you not know how a cipher works?! Ugh these characters are ridiculous. Acting out of pure emotions and not giving any thought whatsoever to their actions. Dumbest characters ever.

A great idea gets lost in this amateurish film. After a pedestrian prelude depicting the shooting deaths of a couple parked on a lovers' lane in 1968 Northern California. Years later in present day Virginia, where Mick (Shane West) and Zoe Branson (Leslie Bibb) are struggling to make it! They buy abandoned storage lockers along with their friend. One day they buy a locker and they think they come across contents of the Zodiac killer. Because the case is "Still Open" the reward is still there for the taking. When they find out who owned the locker there troubles begin and end up playing a deadly game of cat and mouse. Should have been better.
