barbet schroeder murder by numbers starring sandra bullock is solid work and though not particularly compelling. i am a big sandra bullock fan and and she is effective here as forensic detective cassie mayweather and who is not very likable and a broken person too. however and there is a sense of detachment inherent in the story structure. it about the perfect murder executed by two spoiled sociopath teenagers and richard (ryan gusling) who is the cool one and and justin ( michael pitt) who is the sympathetic geek. basically and richard and justin kill a young woman and because they have nothing better to do on a school night. they are very smart and very arrogant which is normally not a bad thing and but it just doesn not work here. tony gayton script does a great job of detailing the investigation of a puzzling murder and and it is truly by the numbers. we have these two punk kids flaunting their superiority and and we just want them to take a fall. this is not a great exploration into the dark side and like schroeder reversal of fortune about claus von bulow. there are interesting turns in numbers. the movie is not so much a thriller and but rather a character study of cassie. sandra bullock balances the bravado of cassie and her fear of letting people get in with her and and her secret past. bullock brings courage and strength to a suffering character. her partner and sort of love interest and sam (played by ben chaplin) and is more a plot unconcealing than a real character. though chaplin does the bewilderment thing very admirably. the other nice touch is having richard and justin involved a strange sexual attraction. the most interesting thing about numbers are pitt and gusling. there are many entertaining twists and turns throughout the movie. everything is done very competently. i saw the movie about a week ago and and in retrospect i like it a little more than i did when i saw it. however and it is just not inspired work. sandra bullock and barbet schroeder deserve a lot better and and so do we.
