Murder by Numbers
Let The Mind Games Begin.
Two high school boys (Gosling, Pitt) commit murder just for the hell of it; dour FBI agent Bullock is on their trail. This thriller has a story similar to the one in Rope (1948), but it doesn’t have Alfred Hitchcock’s touch. It looks good, but the director is unable to create real tension based on the script. Not much interesting comes out of the boys’ strange relationship and it’s hard to care for any of these people. Ms. Bullock plays the agent as a depressed version of her character in Miss Congeniality (2000).
2002-U.S. 120 min. Color. Directed by Barbet Schroeder. Cast: Sandra Bullock (Cassie Mayweather), Ben Chaplin (Sam Kennedy), Ryan Gosling (Richard Haywood), Michael Pitt (Justin Pendleton), Agnes Bruckner, Chris Penn.
