Murder by Numbers | Year: 2002 Directed: - Barbet Schroeder Actors/Actresses: - Sandra Bullock as Cassie Mayweather Not that bad...great performances! I don't know if it's as bad as watching paint dry now come on. That would be pretty boring. But it could have been better. I expected more from the writer of THE SALTON SEA, a movie which I absolutely loved buy hey you can't win 'em all. <BR> Sandra Bullock produces and stars in this film. In it she plays a detective with inner demons that are revealed ass the plot progresses. She investigates a murder while training her new partner (Ben Chaplin; THE THIN RED LINE) in the ways of detective work, among other things. But Bullock and Chaplin are th edull, boring parts of the film.<BR> When it comes to the killer kids (played brilliantly by Ryan Gosling of REMEMBER THE TITANS and Michael Pitt who also played a killer kid in BULLY) that's when the excitement begins. These kids are demented, devious, psychotic, and loads of fun. I wish they could have been the only characters in the film because they were so entertaining! They commit a murder just for the thrill! Now that's insane! Both of these young actors, Gosling and Pitt, are sure to go far in Hollywood. An Well Done Thriller saved by Sharp Performances. An Police Detective (Sandra Bullock) investages the Serial of Brutal Murder Crimes with the help of her Partner (Ben Chaplin). When two intelligent but deranged teenagers (Ryan Gosling & Micheal Pitt) find ways to hide all the evidences and clues before the Cops do but there's no such thing as a Perfect Crime. Directed by Barbet Schroeder (Barfly, Reversal of Fortune, Single White Female) made a Smart Suspense-Thriller with an Good Script by Tony Gayton (The Seaton Sea). Bullock, Gosling, Pitt & Chaplin gives Terrific Performances bring this film to life with fine cinematography by Luciano Tovoli (Suspiria, Tenebre, Titus). Bullock also Executive Produced the film. DVD's has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) transfer and an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD Extras are:Commentary Track by the Director, Behind the Scenes featurette & more. Do not miss this fine film. Grade:A-. A disturbing and interesting psychological thriller... I think this movie is one of my favorites. It has a great photography, excellent actors, a good script and a known and great director, Barbet Schroeder. "Murder by Numbers" is a psychological triller, where two high school boys want to commit the perfect crime.<BR>Sandra Bullock (Cassie Mayweather) is a cop who has to investigate a crime of a young woman. This crime is a little related to her dark-past, which Cassie (Sandra Bullock) wants to forget. Sandra Bullock is really deep, and this is one of her best perfomances. You're used to see her making laugh you, but this time, she's a cop with a crude, dark past that she wants, but can't forget... Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt's perfomances are really good...Ryan Gosling plays Richard Haywood, the "cool" high school kid who together with his friend Justin Pendleton (Michael Pitt) "the smart one" want to commit the perfect murder, and want to prove they're smarter than the caps. Ben Chaplin is the new San Benito Police detective Sam Kennedy, who is helping Cassie (Sandra Bullock) in this case. Surprisingly, Cassie (Sandra Bullock) try to have a "rare" relationship with her partner Sam (Ben Chaplin)...but with all the lack of romanticism... This movie is rated R, for violence, strong language, a sex scene (it really would be called "sex scene"?) and brief drug use.
