Martin (Elijah Wood), a PhD student in mathematics, enrolls at Oxford in the hope of meeting his mentor, Professor Arthur Seldom (Sir John Hurt). The young man manages to find lodging at Mrs. Eagleton's (Anna Massey's), but in this house, a stifling atmosphere prevails due to the landlady's attitude. Indeed Mrs. Eagleton, who happens to be a friend of Seldom's, is a haughty and unsympathetic woman who also stifles her daughter Beth (Julie Cox). At the university, things do not fare much better as Martin is put in his place by his idol during one of Seldom's lectures. But his private life changes for the best as he starts an affair with Lorna (Leonor Watling), a beautiful girl he met during a game of squash. One night, Seldom and Martin, who find themselves at Mrs. Eagleton's, discover her dead body. They are interrogated by the Police. Soon afterwards, they decide to lead their own private investigation.
Leave your thoughts about The Oxford Murders.
| Examiner.comAdam LippeThe Scooby Doo ending requires nearly ten minutes of explanation and negates the need to follow the previous 90 minutes. It's also preceded by one character stating, "In life, nobody bothers explaining anything." Well, except in this movie. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeHurt sells the silliness almost convincingly, but even from such a skillful pitchman it comes out sounding, finally, like junk. |
| BBC.comStella PapamichaelThe murders are simply chalk marks on a blackboard with no build-up and little fallout. |
| Shockya.comPerri NemiroffA poorly formulated story that's nearly impossible to understand and accept. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA math- and symbology-tinged thriller adapted by director Álex de la Iglesia, and pitched at a breakneck, didactic clip, absent any sensible, modulated emotional investment in the characters or material. |
| Empire MagazineKim NewmanNot so terrible that you can understand why it's been practically buried by its distributors, but you can get better ridiculous whodunits on TV. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid LewisThis purported whodunit thriller never solves its main mystery: How and why did this film get made in the first place? |
| VarietyJonathan HollandA polished but verbose whodunit that's surprisingly buttoned-down given helmer Alex de la Inglesia's rep for comicbook wackiness. |
| User ReviewMarybeth Wi love everything about this movie. i never get tired of watching it. |
| User ReviewAdam SDespite only getting 10% rating. Vanessa and i both thought this movie was excellent! Check it out ... |
