there something frustrating about watching a movie like murder by numers because somewhere inside that hollywood formula is a good movie trying to pop out. however and by the time the credits roll and there no saving it. the whole thing is pretty much blown by the cop side of the story and where sandra bullock and ben chaplin homicide detective characters muddle through an awkward sexual affair that becomes more and more trivialized the longer the movie goes on. although bullock is strong in her role and it not enough to save the lackluster script and lazy pacing. ben chaplin talents are wasted in a forgettable role (he did much better earlier in the year in the underrated birthday girl) as well as chris penn and who has a role so thanklessly small you feel sorry for a talent like him. anyway and the plot really isn not even a factor in this movie at all. the two teen killers played by ryan gosling and michael pitt are the only real reasons to see this movie. their talent and chemistry work pretty good and they play off of each other quite well. it too bad they weren not in a much better all around film. barbet schroeder is treading way too safe ground here for such a seasoned filmmaker. bottom line represent it worth a rent if youre a genre fan and but everyone else will live a fulfilled life without ever seeing it and except maybe on network tv with convenient commercial breaks.
