How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

So, two college kids conspire to kill someone they don't know, in cold blood, and then frame someone else, and then kill that person too? Apparently just because they want to, and to try and beat the cops? Does anyone at all consider this as normal behavior, even in the USA?Then the cops come in, Bullock and Chaplin. They have their own issues. She is called "Hyena" by other colleagues, he is fresh out of cop-school. And she has to cope with her own demons from the past.Gosling was 22, Pitt 21, in the main roles. I can't understand why Sandra Bullock agreed to take part in this nonsense, but her performance lifts my rating from a 1. There is nothing special about any of the scenes, or the dialogue. The story flips between now and the events of the killing which is a bit confusing.

Two gifted high school students execute a "perfect" murder - then become engaged in an intellectual contest with a seasoned homicide detective (Sandra Bullock).Basing the story very loosely on Leopold and Loeb, and also very loosely on Hitchcock's "Rope", we have the tale of two kids who think they can get away with murder. Now, could they? Is a "perfect murder" actually possible? With so many unsolved crimes out there, maybe it is...Great casting with Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling, who is equally charming and disturbing. Sort of odd to think the two had a relationship stemming from this film (with a 16-year age difference), but that takes nothing away from the film itself, which is quite clever. Sandra, you cradle-robber!

'Murder by Numbers' is a pretty run-of-the-mill sort of thriller: two spoilt, rich teenagers decide to commit a murder and see if they're smarter than the cops. Unfortunately for them, the 'cops' are Sandra Bullock and Ben Chaplin - and these two just won't let go.So it's a cat and mouse sort of game between the two pairs. Like I say, it doesn't sound like anything that special... and it's not. However, the film is raised above average by the stars. Sandra Bullock acts out of her 'kookie-comedy' kind of comfort zone. You may expect her to fall over or hit her head on a frying pan, but she never does - she plays it straight all the way through. Plus the two kids are kind of creepy and you will be rooting for Sandra and Ben to bring them to justice.And that's about it. If you like either Sandra Bullock or a better-than-average cops hunting killers kind of film, you should like this - at least enough to give you a couple of hours entertainment.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

Murder by Numbers is a mesmerizing crime thriller about detective Cassie Mayweather (Sandra Bullock) and new partner Sam Kennedy (Ben Chaplin) are pitted against two malevolent high school students (Ryan Gosling and Michael Pitt), who execute a perfect murder.This movie cuts to the chase with story elements that grab your attention at certain times with its riveting acting, from Gosling playing mind games with Bullock to the detectives attempting to outwit the two crooked geniuses to solve the case.It's a murder-mystery movie with plenty of twists and turns, but has a plot which can wear you out a bit as I've found it to be a little slow at times as it dwells on unnecessary characters' past and drama a lot and has limited action. It's not great, it's not bad, but an average crime thriller.Grade C+
