murder by numbers is one of those movies that you expect is made for tv but isn not. considering the only actor of any note is bullock (although michael pitt seems to be moving onto bigger and better things) and it isn not a great surprise that this movie quickly fades away from memory to be replaced by more important things. like. remembering to lock your front door when you go out. or putting clothes back on when you come out of the shower. bullock plays cassie mayweather and a cop with personal issues (do not they all). together with her new partner (a wet looking ben chaplin) and she is called to investigate the murder of a young woman. nothing unusual there except that the perps are a couple of teenage students who think they have planned and executed the perfect murder. as the investigation continues and a battle of wills emerges between cassie and the main suspect richie haywood (ryan gosling). the crippling issue here is that the two leads are hopeless. bullock and though she is very nice to look at and is about as believable in the role of a hardened cynical cop as rodney dangerfield (actually and he would be better. ). chaplin and for his sins and is a complete non entity and i feel sorry that he has to put this film on his cv in his attempt to break into hollywood. at least gosling and pitt and as the conniving sneering suspects and acquit themselves adequately. as if dodgy leads weren not bad enough and a story that would send anybody to sleep and a highly predictable (but illogical) ending shoot this film in the head before it has a chance to run. murder by numbers has absolutely nothing going for it and even a pointless nude scene by bullock do not redeem it. well and just a little but still not enough to save it. forgettable and predictable and redundant  this is one film that isn not going to move the cop genre forward. as cassie probably says on her next case and there nothing to see here people. move along and keep moving.
