Synopsis

Bullock plays a homicide detective investigating the death of a woman, who was killed by two teens out to commit the "perfect murder."

Review

You have to hand it to Sandra Bullock -- after the ripping she received playing an FBI agent in Miss Congeniality, she bounces back to yet again wear a badge. This time out she plays a small-town police detective, and maybe not playing it for laughs is the way to go for she gives a commendable performance. Involving if rather familiar, Murder by Numbers follows Bullock's seasoned, weary policewoman who, with a new partner, investigates the murder of a woman killed by two high school students who committed the crime just for kicks (comparisons to Leopold and Loeb are obviously intentional). It then becomes a game of cat-and-mouse as she sets out to trap them. When director Schroeder concentrates more on the relationships of the two boys (which hints at but never commits to the homoerotic) and the two cops, the film is the more compelling for it. It falls short, however, in providing genuine thrills and keeping consistent pacing that would have elevated it above standard genre entertainment.
