This loose reworking of Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder over-complicate that simple but chilling classic.

| Dec 19, 2024

Efficient in plot but drab in tone, the real travesty of this remake of Hitchcock’s Dial M. for Murder lies in the severe lack of screen time dedicated to Gwyneth’s outfits.

The movie falls into the predictable pattern of who’s-plotting-against-who, with everyone’s motivations reduced to cardboard.

| Original Score: C- | Sep 2, 2022

...a briskly-paced and handsomely-shot endeavor that benefits quite substantially from its uniformly strong performances...

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jan 6, 2021

A Perfect Murder is a perfectly enjoyable popcorn joyride, and director Andrew Davis gets most of his tactics just right.

slick and twisted tale provides two delicious hours of intrigue and mystery, along with some unexpected wit and black comedy...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 8, 2003

...the film is so lacking in anything original that it is hardly worth recommending.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2002

...a fast-paced thriller that probably will leave Alfred Hitchcock aficionados mourning its shallowness -- but not until after they've enjoyed an adrenaline rush.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 6, 2002

...simpers along with relatively little suspense or thrills...

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 5, 2002

A resoluo no faz jus s duas primeiras horas de projeo.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 31, 2002

None of the amusement gained in watching the performances, unfortunately, amounts to much, as the script, in a desperate attempt to lend action interest to the original, static, puzzle plot, compounds surprise turn after surprise turn.

What the film lacks is suspense, surprise (the new ending is a dud) and passion.

A Perfect Murder begins better than it ends, and the pleasures it offers turn out to be more of a transitory nature.
