Zodiac (2007)
David Fincher’s lengthy look into the Zodiac Killer mystery is an ensemble piece. It’s dark, obviously, but many consider Zodiac his finest work, and one of the best movies of the 2000s.
What part does Downey play in the ensemble? He’s Paul Avery, a real-life journalist who covered the Zodiac murders in San Francisco. It was bleak stuff, and Avery suffered from his efforts to unfold the story, and the mystery. Downey, able to call upon a lot of his own personal demons, excelled in the role.
