Richard Haywood, a Californian high school's coolest kid, secretly teams up with another rich kid in his class, brilliant nerd Justin 'Bonaparte' Pendleton, whose erudition, specially in forensic matters, allows them to plan elaborately perfect murders, just for the kick, for which they set up Richard's marijuana supplier, their school's janitor Ray Feathers, as a psychotic serial killer. The case is assigned to detectives Cassie 'the hyena' Mayweather, who carries a sequoia-size chip on the shoulder from her previous life, and her brilliant new partner, Sam Kennedy, who just transferred from the vice squad; they can work together very well, and even fit romantically, but fall out over different professional attitudes towards the investigation, which Captain Rod Cody and her understandably vindictive abused ex, Assistant D.A. Al Swanson, soon ban her from when she disobeys instructions and hand to him. When the plotting boys both dig class-mate Lisa Mills, their unnatural bond comes under stress- will it break, allowing the hard-pressed police to bring them down?
Leave your thoughts about Murder by Numbers.
| San Francisco ExaminerJoe LeydonAdds up to less than the sum of its better parts. |
| Film Quips OnlineJohn R. McEwenThe literal cliffhanger ending is far too overblown to be convincing, but most of what comes before it deserves praise. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairLesson learned: Never ask Ben Chaplin to lose his British accent. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe result is two or three cuts above genre standard. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBullock does a good job here of working against her natural likability, creating a character you'd like to like, and could like, if she weren't so sad, strange and turned in upon herself. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroThe outline of Murder by Numbers may be familiar, but the filmmakers and Bullock do an expert job of filling in the colors. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerEllen A. KimSchroeder's misstep is trying hard to please his star, whether it be her character's empathetic past or one very fake-looking action climax. His greatest service is keeping her toe-to-toe with her talented co-stars -- and both are the better for it. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonTurns potentially forgettable formula into something strangely diverting. |
| CinenganosLuis MartinezMurder by Numbers nos obliga a identificarnos no con los representantes de la ley, sino con los autores del crímen. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisIt's well worth catching for its interesting twists on the Leopold and Loeb story. |
