Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brosnan at his best
Review: Brosnan does it again with his intelligence and ability to keep the viewer's attention. Murder 101 is an above average script and tailor made for Pierce. You care about his character and the surrounding events as they unfold. I found myself wishing that the college course, Murder 101, extended over several semesters/quarters (i.e., 101, 101a, 101b and 101c). If you are a Brosnan fan, you won't be disappointed. If you are not, you will be.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very good
Review: finally a very good thriller with very famous actors. Brosnan of course much better than as our beloved 007 is just great in this movie. How he uses his knowledge to write a thriller and uses it on the real murder is fascinating and very enjoyable. If you in the mood for a great thriller DON'T MISS "MURDER 101"

Summary: It is one of the best
Review: I can't believe i have finally seen this movie. I saw the movie like 13 years ago but i never new the title and did not know any of the actors.(i was just 9). So i did not know anything. Then later,i saw Mrs. Doubtfire and i was like hey i know this guy(this was like 1994). Yesterday i just saw one of my notes where i had written the story down and i said "oh yeah" i always wanted to see the movie. so i got on the internet and started searching. You can imagine going thru all of pierce Brosnans movies and reading the reviews and storyline. bcos i did not know the title. but ihave found it after such a long time. i am soo happy. So ihope yu get a copy of this movie. It is one of the best.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: it was an ok video.
Review: i like the video although some of the actors or the script need a bit more excitement or something. but all in all it's a very well made film.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nothing But Praise For Brosnan's Performance
Review: I really enjoyed this 1991 t.v thriller starring Pierce Brosnan, before stepping into the role of suave secret agent James Bond, Brosnan was College professior Charles Lattimore returning back after a leave of absence due to writing his novel. No sooner when he gets back he tries to ignite his relationship with his ex-wife but she is with someone else. As well he's back into teaching. His first assigment he has for his students is to plan the perfect murder, no sooner one of his students is murdered and he comes under fire from the local autothies. Be prepared for the surpirse ending is nothing you would expect. This film does examine that even people of high moral integrity can still fall for the usual mind games inoving love and passion. Pierce Brosnan in this role has all the crediabillty and durabilty for the viewer to sustain beief. It is indeed a well made film.

Summary: Pierce is Wonderful
Review: Murder 101 is an awesome suspense film mixed in with some aspects of comedy, drama, and romance. Pierce is an awesome actor as any sensible female knows, and he certainly put in enormous efforts in this film. It's a great movie that keeps you in suspense with wee twists and turns along the way, then comes out with a great surprise ending. Marvelous film for any movie buff.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It is one of the best
Review: MURDER 101 written and directed by Bill Condon (who would later grab an Oscar for GODS AND MONSTERS) is a great little movie that I had never heard of. Suffice to say, Condon's neat little script gives us two big surprises at the end. The murderer is hard to spot and the ending is just "Wow, did I just see what I think I saw?"
At any rate, Pierce Brosnan in his pre Bond days stars as a best-selling crime writer who teaches a class in how to write the perfect crime novel. Brosnan gained famed writing a true crime thriller that sent his friend to prison for murdering his wife. Brosnan returns to teaching, to meet his estranged wife, played sweetly by Dey Young, who has taken up with another professor, played smarmily by Mark L. Taylor (Fangs). Another friend of his is Detective Mike Dowley (played with a surly masculinity by Antoni Carone). Soon, though, things take a demonic twist when Pierce is set up for murder by one of his students. Rachel Sbarge in a crafty performance seems to be the one who is setting him up.
The pace is good; the script witty and inventive; and overall, a tidy, surprising mystery.
