The Worst Film Ever

Memorable, crazy movie

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Okay, the ending really annoyed me, since, as stated, the ring could have been taken off, so how did Sandra come to her conclusion other than suddenly becoming psychic? Aside from that, this is not a horrible movie, and it would have been much more interesting with a couple of script revisions; a bit less emphasis on Sandra's character and a lot more on the boys, who did manage, even with the female love interest, to exhibit the requisite closeted leanings in this type of story that were more than hinted at in Compulsion and Rope, and even Strangers on a Train.I gave the movie a 6 rating simply because of Sandra's sudden ability to read Michael's mind at the end, but, overall it's not as horrible as other reviewers seem to think.

I didn't hate this movie, it is predictable with some twists.The problems are with some of my movie pet peeves. First of all, exposition dialog. The investigation of the one guys crime scene had a lazy way of saying why the main character is the way she is, a guy just walks up and says because of her past she is messed up. I hate that in movies, I'M NOT FIVE!!! The second problem is the by the numbers formula. In the first 10 minuets I thought I've seen this before. Do not come into this movie expecting an original formula. The big problem is the time, it could have stopped so much sooner. This movie had a perfect way to end it and it didn't take it. This gets a 6/10, it's above average. Like I said I didn't hate this movie, it has some really good elements. My favorite part was the interrogation scene. So if there is nothing to watch then watch this.

Murder by Numbers is a mesmerizing crime thriller about detective Cassie Mayweather (Sandra Bullock) and new partner Sam Kennedy (Ben Chaplin) are pitted against two malevolent high school students (Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt), who execute a perfect murder.This movie cuts to the chase with story elements that grab your attention at certain times with its riveting acting, from Gosling playing mind games with Bullock to the detectives attempting to outwit the two crooked geniuses to solve the case.It's a murder-mystery movie with plenty of twists and turns, but has a plot which can wear you out a bit as I've found it to be a little slow at times as it dwells on unnecessary characters' past and drama a lot and has limited action. It's not great, it's not bad, but an average crime thriller.Grade C+

It amazes me how writers continue to come up with interesting and different plots for thrillers and Murder By Numbers is no exception. I suppose we, the viewers, are bound to get "involved" with the story - I know I do. Like: are there actual people like Richard (Ryan Gosling) and Justin (Michael Pitt) out there somewhere who see getting away with the most heinous crime of all as just the ultimate challenge? If there are - and I believe there are - then how do they overcome the urges that drive them? And, when they don't, unless there is a cop like Cassie Mayweather (Sandra Bullock), how do they ever get caught? And then, when they don't get caught because their decoy - in this case, Ray Feathers (Sean Penn's lesser-known brother Chris) - is dead and cannot be cross-examined, where are they now? Do they live next door? Are they the guy at the next desk or machine where you work or the rich kid in your class at school?Money isn't always a blessing. Especially when all it does is cause the sort of boredom that drives a person to psychosis like that portrayed in this movie.Not a movie I would recommend to a nervous girl to watch alone. She could just end up a paranoiac who is scared to go out, even in broad daylight.Who's watching you right now? And, even more to the point, why? OK, I think you need to go and check your mailbox now girls. Sweet dreams.
