Murder by Numbers (Full Screen Edition)

Summary: Follow the crumbs
Review: Sandra Bullock does a great job of playing a detective looking for a murderer. The clues are a bit to neat to suit her and she begins to look deeper. This movie was borderline Hitchcock style murder mystery and very smoothly done. Just a little stronger acting by Ben Chaplin and Ryan Gosling and it would have been a major hit. They do a good job but they are not the caliber of Ed Norton in "Primal Fear". If they were they would have got at least oscar nominations if not awards. I still think they turn in fine performances and were not appreciated. I personally think the whole movie was underrated. I think it improves with additional viewings. You begin to truly appreciate the performances and the story. A Hitchcock air about it that makes you think of "The Rope" and "Vertigo". I bought the DVD and I recommend it. Most fans of movies like "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came a Spider" will enjoy it.

Summary: NOT the widescreen version
Review: I was very excited to order this movie as I loved it when I first saw it. However, I was looking for the widescreen version and ended up finding this. The description of the disc tells you that it is widescreen but when you click on the picture it says FULL screen version. Be careful if you prefer widescreen to full screen and always double check the descriptions with the actual photos.
