Diagonaldi Very well executed

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Reno Rangan Promising cast, if not the Hollywood's greatest. Adapted to the screen from the book called 'The Blunderer'. The film is about the two separate deaths that's quite suspiciable of having some kind of a connection. That's where the cop's investigation comes into play. The narration was very suspense, since nothing was openly revealed at the beginning what really had happened, where the rest of the film rides on with.There are many angles to have a guess, but mostly it hangs either one or the other way, where you could come close to unpuzzle. A rich couple's marriage is falling apart. While the wife is not taking it well as her husband does. He's already starting to look forward to have an affair and move on. That's when he comes across a news about an unsolved murder, and soon his state of life sees the same fate. Now hunted by the law, how he tries to prove he's not involved in any kind of wrongdoing. That leads to a twist before bringing a full stop to the storytelling.I thought it was good, because it was different, engaging and mysterious, but not sure the presentation was at its best. It is what we call Hitchcock style mystery-thriller. If he'd been alive, I would have expected it to be from his direction. He knows that formula, how to carve such subject. This is from a television director and the quality of the film remained the same kind. Though the actors were good, as well as the atmosphere of the narration. It had a lot potential to be a better one, but still it can be watched once if you keep aside your complaints.6/10

kosmasp I haven't read the source material nor seen a movie this is supposedly a version of (according to IMDb). So I can only speak for this movie on display right here. The fine acting is one thing, but what really got me was the script. It is ambiguous and very woven to say the least. Predicting things may seem easy, but in the end, maybe it isn't? And that's something I really enjoyed during watching.Having said that, there are a few things that seem easy to spot. It's a murder mystery, there are seemingly over the top characters involved and some sketchy themes running through it all. The final shot is mesmerizing to say the least and makes the mind wander ... and wonder too!

lavatch In the bonus segment of the DVD for "A Kind of Murder," the director Andy Goddard describes his goal of filming a psychological thriller. Unfortunately, the results of his efforts were not terribly exciting.One of the problems of the film is that the script was based on one of the inferior works of the writer Patricia Highsmith, whose strength was typically in the area of psychological crime fiction. The film develops parallel murder stories with two men, Mr. Stackhouse and Mr. Kimmel, who engage in a cat-and-mouse game with each other.Either Stackhouse or Kimmel (or both...or neither) could actually have murdered their wives. The most engaging part of the film was the proposition in Stackhouse's mind that he was guilty of his wife's death merely because he secretly desired it. This psychological concept was brilliantly developed by Dostoevsky in his masterpiece "The Brothers Karamazov." But Highsmith's presentation lacks depth and truly profound psychological insights.The cast of "A Kind of Murder" was excellent with Patrick Wilson, Jessica Biel, Eddit Marsan, and Haley Bennett. Bennett was good in her role as a torch song performer in a moody underground nightclub. The design team effectively captured the period of the '60s, and the film was well scored. Unfortunately, the overall effect was just not very compelling.

dcdcdc-05815 No Spoilers It was interesting and got you involved,BUT, the last 10 minutes which is the ending was just so pathetic,so stupid and did not even make sense. I wasted all that time getting intrigued with it to have a silly ending. The acting was very good and the atmosphere was also good. The automobiles were classics.
