Murder by Numbers
When the dead body of a woman is found in the woods near the river, feisty homicide detective Cassie Mayweather (Sandra Bullock) and her new partner, Sam Kennedy (Ben Chaplin) are assigned to the case. That's the premise for MURDER BY NUMBERS, a psychological thriller directed by Barbet Schroeder (REVERSAL OF FORTUNE, SINGLE WHITE FEMALE). Determined to solve the crime, Mayweather follows her hunches and microscopic bits of evidence, focusing her investigation on two teens: Justin Pendleton (Michael Pitt), a brilliant, misunderstood nerd, and Richard Haywood (Ryan Gosling), a smooth talking, spoiled rich kid. From the beginning, the audience knows that this unlikely duo has formed a secret bond that pushes the boundaries of morality and the law in their attempt to commit the perfect murder and experience complete freedom. It's up to Mayweather, who buries herself in her work in an attempt to forget her own tormented past, and Kennedy, a transfer from Vice who is working his first homicide case, to ignore the stereotypical profiles and see past the obvious in order to solve the crime. Slowly but surely, the truth comes out as Mayweather works on instinct while battling her own demons and being drawn into the boys' game of cat-and-mouse.

It was great to see Sandra Bullock doing a thriller. Although it is a little predictable, it is still very enjoyable. It's worth renting if you want ... read more »

Isn’t it amazing how life has a way of patting you on the back and then kicking you in the teeth? One minute Sandra Bullock is enjoying the best year of her career – a year in which she broke through her previous box office ceiling not once, but twice; a year that brought her rave reviews, countless awards and the ultimate, the Oscar for best actress. (The movie, The Blind Side, is released Friday 26th March.) The next – a “Bombshell” – and she’s gone... Read more
