Pros: Barbet Schroeder (definitely) Sandra Bullock (probably) San Luis Obispo for sure!
Cons: I hate movies that make me think when I just want entertainment.
Well, shades of Leopold and Loeb, what have we here? Don't worry, I'm not claiming to be old enough to have followed the L&L trial, but I did watch Hitchcock's Rope, so that ought to count for something. I was even going to compare one of the...

Pros: Just about the whole movie
Cons: Plot was a bit confusing
After seeing the trailer, I was a bit skeptical. I said ok, this one doesn't look too good. So I saw it today and what can I say, it was great! Beginning to end, I enjoyed watching every minute of it.
The only thing that I didn't like was that...

by flamepillar - Top 50, Apr 25 '02
Pros: Psychology. The two boys. Sandra Bullock. Unpredictable.
Cons: Some moments are a little too convenient.
We have a winner! As much as I jabber on about going back to see a movie twice, I have not wanted to enough to actually make a second trip since Monsters Inc. Well, Murder By Numbers is the latest to worm the cash out of my pocket for a...

Pros: Bullock and the entire cast are terrific. Barbet's direction is stylistic. Smart, but predictable script.
Cons: The length. The Hitchcock ending.
A lot of critics have allegiance to certain directors. I’m still baffled to this day how Roger Ebert gave “Dr. T & The Women” three and a half stars, when I certainly can’t see why anyone would give it more than zero. But to say that I too don’t share...

Pros: Keeps your attention
Cons: Should Have Ended Different
Murder by Numbers, I have never seen a movie that takes your attention, and makes you think one thing, and then again, you aren't quite sure if your guess is right. It takes you from side to side to make you wonder who is the real murderer. I think that...

Pros: Two very good new actors - Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt
Cons: Not really a whodunit
MURDER BY NUMBERS is a strange hybrid movie that entertains on many levels. Hybrid - like the Hollywood-fashionable Toyota Prius that runs on both gas and electric engines. First of all, the gas - it's a Sandra Bullock movie which means mainstream ...

Pros: Intriguing, Sometimes funny,
Cons: It is a bit annoying, and sometimes predictable, but still has unexpected twists
Starring a very talented and witty, cast, this movie makes for a good murder/mystery thriller. I enjoyed that there were twists and turns that you had to pay attention to, in order to pick them out. I also liked how there was more then one story going...

by artbyjude - Top 500, Dec 28 '02
Pros: Gosling, Bullock, Caplin and Pitt in that order. Cinematography. Editing. Direction.
Cons: Numbers? What numbers? Lags occasionally.
This is an engrossing thriller that thrills through exceptional performances and painstaking revelation. The pace is sometimes excruciatingly slow, but it is extremely well constructed and edited-so the slow parts will require your complete attention...

Pros: Begining of movie is cool, Sandra Bullock play a good character
Cons: Movie gets long a boring towards end, bland ending
Murder by Numbers is about two kids: one who is a rich popular, spoiled, and good looking. The other is smart, quiet, and different. The two kids who are bored with everyday life, research police investagation stratigies and murder girl to get a rush....

by millinocket  in Movies, - Top 200, Oct 05 '02
Pros: Character development.
Cons: Some easy outs in the storyline.
"Murder By Numbers" is a crime drama/thriller that took me by surprise. Expecting a rather cookie-cutter police whodunit, I was pleased that the movie had several much more interesting facets.
I want to keep the plot summary here bare bones,...

Pros: Good plot, keeps you interested. Bullock very good; Ryan Gosling a standout.
Cons: You've seen some of this before in better movies. Title makes no sense.
Sandra Bullock plays a tough-as-nails detective searching for a couple of teenage serial murderers who think they can commit the perfect crime.
I didn't really know what to expect and I was hoping it wasn't going to be another MISS...

by dlockeretz , May 05 '02
Pros: Good dialogue, good cinematography, fast moving plot
Cons: Too many twists, not enough incisiveness
"Murder By Numbers" tries to do too many things. It attempts to be a "Heathers" style study of teen angst and violence; it strives to present a battle between female law and two psychotic killers as in "Fargo" and it wants to be able to throw one...

by rmurray847 , May 08 '08
Pros: Early Ryan Gosling performance shows much of his charismatic promise
Cons: Bullock is pretty bad.
The best reason to see this movie now, several years after it came out, is to enjoy an early role from Ryan Gosling. In many ways, his performance as one of two empty, misguided teenage boys who commit murder just to see if they can do it got him the ...

by zthoughts , May 15 '02
Pros: Two good, younger actors and a good idea.
Cons: The idea executed poorly, without much character development.
I like thrillers, and I like Sandra Bullock, but this movie fell flat.
Sandra Bullock plays homicide detective, Cassie Mayweather. Cassie has a new partner, Sam (played by Ben Chaplin who looks a lot like Benjamin Bratt, her co-star in Miss...

Pros: An eye opening performance by
Sandra Bullock.
Cons: Drags a bit. The ending is on
auto pilot.
There's a shot in "Murder By Numbers" that really
got my attention. It's an inside shot of a human hand. The camera races along across the surface of the skin and then the skin turns into a grass covered hill.
I must say, I liked...
