This movie was just so-so for me. It kept me interested, because I enjoy watching murder-mysteries, but there isn't really much about this movie that is all that unique. Past reviewers have correctly noted that it's formulaic and uses plenty of... Full review

This is a pretty sweet movie. And Ryan is VERY cute, but there are scenes where they are pointless and the movie is just draging on. Other than that one scene the movie is awesome. I though it was sad though,... Full review

This Sandra Bullock vehicle is a decent thriller that tries to avoid being by-the-numbers, but staggers in its pace and in its ability to get beyond a cookie-cutter protagonist. A script with sharper focus on the police duo could have made... Full review

The well honed script relies on the characters to make familiar territory fascinating.
Great editing helps to glue us to our seats, and Clint Mansells score is at once invisible and yet a concrete platform for the inner ear.

While engrossing, diverting, and nicely acted, Murder by Numbers doesn't have the sting in the tail it needs to be a memorable thriller.
Musings about the meaning of character's costumes or the cars they drive are even less impressive.

his talents are thoroughly under-used.....Sandra Bullock unleashes an engaging, sombre intensity....Some strong performances help, too.....sells her damaged-cop character to the hilt despite being saddled with some shocking dialogue.....Pitt is deliciously, subtly unhinged.... ... Full Review

And if I have another film that a success, thats great.
In retrospect, Bullock is even more glad she chose not to produce Murder By Numbers; it was not easy.

That shocking circumstance, the horror of the murder and the horror of two ordinary young people committing a vicious crime out of sheer boredom, undoubtedly served as the inspiration for the fictional case presented in "Murder By Numbers," the 2002 police-investigative thriller starring Sandra Bullock.
