Best movie of this year hands down!

Powerful

Brilliant and touching

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Utterly waste of time. Piece of crap! Horrific acting. No screenplay just hodgepodge from documents. And why the fu*k everyone is talking like they are sitting at court? Fu*king boring to death.

In 1969 San Francisco patrol officers didn't wear shoulder patches, also the police vehicles ( 79 model Fords and newer ) shown didn't exist in 1969 ...

Excellent movie. Great acting by all-star cast. Meticulous direction, though maybe too detailed, resulting in the movie dragging in places and being too long.Not your typical whodunnit.

My number one question is WHY was Gyllenhaal cast in the lead? He's extremely ineffectual, mealy-mouthed, delivers his lines in an irritatingly mumbling, raspy manner. Next is the matter of the music chosen for various segments: totally inappropriate. OK, the songs are from the right time period, but they simply do not connect with what's on screen in most instances. I sincerely wanted to "enjoy" and appreciate thisfilm, but I was thwarted, sadly. The players try hard, but fail. At least this movie was not shot in near-darkness as many films of the past 30 years have been, oddly. Is lighting too expensive? Sorry I cannot rate this higher than 4.
