It just doesnt end the same...I thought it was an okay movie, just not one of Mike's better ones, I think with a little more plot polish we would have had a pretty good movie here, just not another one of... Full review

Wow! The Deer Hunter is one of the top-five movies of all-time. This user survey barely has it in the top ten from the 70's. Very , very underated, ( of course my opinion ). This movie hits home with action,... Full review

A remake of the original thriller by Alfred Hitchcock, this movie was very entertaining. Starring big name actors like Viggo Mortensen, Gweneth Paltrow, and Michael Douglas, this movie was one of the better remakes that i have seen. Entertaining and suspenseful... Full review

A Perfect Murder is a decent suspense thriller. I rented the movie not expecting much and found that it was an engagging film. I felt as if they coudl've made some parts of it better. But overall the film was worth... Full review
Good thrilling start with a merely thrilling end

The start was really great. At the end it was perhaps too casual. There was no real perfect murder at all. Douglus was real charming with his arrogant cast. I guess thats what he is best at.:).... Full review

This movie was another mediocore film. Micheal Douglas always plays the arrogant rich guy extremely well. This movie took a while to develop and had several slow spots. There are no suprise twists or anything. The storyline is kind of predictable.... Full review
A great mystery

Douglas is in a great role. His acting is on cue. A wonderful supporting cast is here as well. I liked the idea of a man trying to kill off his wife, it works well here. A great mystery by far.... Full review

Boxoffice Magazine
thrills, and needlessly complicates Knott's already complex series of twists with new ones either borrowed wholesale from better movies or so hopelessly contrived....they undermine the film's credibility altogether.....Then again, "A Perfect Murder" is a perfectly silly remake.....who commands the film's best moments, investing his scenes with seething intensity and quiet restraint..... ...

A Perfect Murder" begins with Emily in bed with David, desperately in love and starting to want to get out of her marriage. Mortensen, though less well known than Douglas, is similarly and expertly cast to type as a character not likely to be mistaken for Jimmy Stewart. ... Full Review

but the movie is ultimately more competent than pleasurable Paltrow, with bright red lips and skin that's almost as blond as her hair, seems color coordinated to the film's mood of commodified malice. ... Full Review

Mortensen is also very effective as the artist with some tricks up his sleeve. While the characters, aside from Paltrow's character, don't warrant much sympathy, they certainly are interesting. ... Full Review

Deseret News
A Perfect Murder" is rated R for violent attacks, gore, profanity, simulated sex and brief female partial nudity. This unscary thriller also suffers from dreadful miscasting, not the least of which is pairing Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas as the leads. ... Full Review
