Murder by Numbers Review
by Ram Samudrala
Sandra Bullock is not very convincing as a tough cop, but she does a better job than Jennifer Lopez in /Angel Eyes/. The two films have a lot of similarities (and they're both bad). more

I saw this when it came out and it was difficult to write about then; and it has thwarted me even unto now. Murder by Numbers is an interesting idea which was then turned into a movie about too many things. Some would argue that complexity in...more

Murder by Numbers, a de facto remake of Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, is an intriguing film that falls back on thriller conventions just when it needs to make a move of its own. It begins admirably only to reveal cracks in its foundation in the second...more

Since her "breakthrough" performance in the Sylvestor Stallone action vehicle Demolition Man, I’ve never much liked Sandra Bullock or her selection of films. My initial reaction to the previews of Murder by Numbers was a laughing fit. But I ventured...more

Murder by Numbers Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 2.5/4)
MURDER BY NUMBERS is a picture by numbers. Director Barbet Schroeder (REVERSAL OF FORTUNE) connects each of the story's obvious dots with extra slowness, lest we miss guessing any of the turns. The script by Tony Gayton (THE SALTON SEA) features all of...more

by Jon Popick (Rating: 5/10)
It's surprising how quickly 9/11 made everyone forget about Columbine and the less-publicized (but equally disturbing) Dartmouth murders. Seven months ago, no studio would have dreamt of releasing a film where two teenagers from well-to-do suburban...more
