BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ed-Shullivan I have weighted the film on the lower side of 5 out of 10 for the abysmal ending. As with most movie buffs, we hate to get sucked into a somewhat film noir with plenty of mystery in the early going, only to have the film end rather abruptly without proper closure. Patrick Wilson who plays Walter Stackhouse, an architect/storyteller/amateur detective is superb in his role. Kudos also to the wardrobe department for their excellent choice for their 1950's period dressage. I also liked the performances by Jessica Biel and Eddie Marsan. I would try to explain my disappointment by likening it to the purchase of a double scoop of my favorite ice cream placed in a sugar cone only to have taken my first bite and find out the ice cream was sorbet and the sugar cone was actually cardboard. If you can picture that scenario, then that is what I felt I watched with "A Kind of Murder", more like "A Kind of a Let Down"

cherryred-23270 Those who gave really negative reviews, did you actually watch the movie? Or pay attention?None of the events are real. He's a writer. You are watching the story he's typing. There are hints throughout the entire movie. Like every time it shows him sitting at the type writer. Read the words he is typing. It's a dead giveaway at the end, the final scene he types "The End" I will admit that the movie is painfully slow. Like watching paint dry, slow. There's just not enough action. I found myself getting bored and my mind wandering easily. Still, I got enough of it to figure out it's his book.

wildblueyonder Can't understand the low rating, but I guess it goes to show ya...This was a wonderful movie with wonderful acting. Patrick Wilson is brilliant, if you understand the movie the way I think I understand it. There is such a tremendous undercurrent of social commentary in the movie, and I think it was beautifully casted.Jessica Biel is beautiful, no doubt, but she is so feminine and alluring in this movie it well exceeded expectations. Eddie Marsen is a fantastic actor and Vincent Kartheiser (from Mad Men) is inspired in this role.I love a period piece, and this one is shot warmly for most of the movie. The social commentary always gets me - combined with great acting its a total keeper. Enjoy!

dcdcdc-05815 No Spoilers It was interesting and got you involved,BUT, the last 10 minutes which is the ending was just so pathetic,so stupid and did not even make sense. I wasted all that time getting intrigued with it to have a silly ending. The acting was very good and the atmosphere was also good. The automobiles were classics.
