Critic Reviews for Murder 101

All Critics (1) | Fresh (1)

Simultaneously ridiculous and clever, entertaining and familiar, and something you'll be perfectly comfortable having on while you fold laundry, but won't be too concerned about if you miss a few minutes of while you feed the pets.

Audience Reviews for Murder 101

May 21, 2007

Just remembered this film, a cool thriller about a class of murder mystery writers set the task of writing about the perfect murder! Check it out.

For the standard of film this could quite as easily come across as an episode of Murder She Wrote or Diagnosis Murder, which makes me wonder why Pierce Brosnan would have chosen this as a film to appear in. Strangely enough though..the story was entriguing and I like the idea of writing and planning the Perfect Murder, whilst you watch the film unfold. Perhaps a little cheesy with the ending, but given a better standard of film and acting, this would definitely have come across as a much better film.
