Featured review
"Murder by Numbers" is a film which looks like it was made straight to video. And, if it wasn't, I have a hard time believing anyone would try to get this into theaters.
The story begins with a guy looking for his brother, who hasn't been seen nor heard from in some time. Oddly, no one seems that worried about the guy...until he's found dead. Suicide or murder? Who knows. But soon another body turns up...and the brother is determined to get to the bottom of it.
There are a few famous names in the movie (Jayne Meadows, Dick Sargent and Cleavon Little), but they are really not used effectively in the story. And, speaking of story, I am sure a lot of people won't appreciate the way AIDS is made part of the plot...especially when it turns out to be a red herring. But what I really disliked is how the brother assumed who the killer was and then they admit EVERYTHING! Huh?!
Overall, poorly written, dull and a film you don't exactly need to rush out to see.
