Very well executed

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It is a performances centric movie

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the great pleasures in life is to spend a lazy afternoon with a good mystery book in hands and a bowl of peanuts in front of you. Spending a couple of hours with "Murder on the yellow brick road" and a bowl of popcorn was in the same league. The movie is made in a best tradition of "Hollywood of my youth" and, importantly, not only for old-timers like me but also for anybody who loves good old fashioned murder mystery. The story is good, straightforward, and easy to follow. Ross Hagen and Ken Butler in leading roles, as well as supporting cast give great and memorable performances. The absence of violence, nudity, and foul language is certainly refreshing and makes the movie even more pleasurable. The music is great. If you ask me – go for it!!!!!

Murder on the Yellow Brick Road is a beautiful film. I enjoyed it from the beginning to the end. A film with a good plot, but without violence, blood, explicit sex scenes, and frightening special effects, cannot be seen very often these days. It is made as a film-noir, a suspenseful thrill ride that has so many twists and turns. The cast is great. Ross Hagen and Ken Butler give a great performance in the lead roles. Beautiful film from the story, to the acting, to directing, editing, and cinematography. The music is wonderful. I especially liked the song "Boulevard of Dreams". This is a film I would recommend to my friends without hesitation.

With the saturation of gratuitous violence, nudity, and obscenities so prevalent in today's film-making, the producers of Murder On The Yellow Brick Road offer to it's audience a murder mystery in the genre of film noir… a good, old fashioned Raymond Chandler styled "who-done-it"... without any of those elements. It appears that their vision was to buck the current trend and tell their story based on the strength of it's characters, plot, and exquisite cinematography, as well as offering a film to parents that they could enjoy as well as having the ability to bring their children to see without having to cover their eyes and ears. Interestingly, even though the film deals with a death and it's aftermath, Murder On The Yellow Brick Road is a kind and gentle film... concentrating on character relationships rather than mayhem, and is paced so the viewer can enjoy the cinematic elements that makes this film successful... an intelligent story, sturdy acting, pin-point direction by Ross Hagen, fine editing, exceptional music, and exquisite lighting. If you want to take a trip back in time to the shadowy days when there were hidden secrets around every dark corner... Murder On The Yellow Brick Road is a prime example of independent film making... a film well worth visiting.

This film was both a treat and a surprise. It brought me back to those great "who done it's" based on real suspense, solid performances, artistic cinematography and a straightforward plot. The film was not filled with what we see every day - blood and violence, an overload of special effects, extreme sexual content and bad acting. The performances were strong; one that especially stood out for me was that of Joe Patterson, played by Ken Butler. He was terrific and really added to the film. After seeing this film, I would definitely make it a priority to see Ken Butler in his future efforts. Another aspect that really stood out for me was the score. The music was wonderful, never overpowering or distracting, but really complimenting the film. I would recommend this film to everyone of all ages. It's not very often that someone can take their kids along to see a smart, well-acted and beautifully filmed movie.
