Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
MURDER 101 is one of the better made-for-TV movies that you'll see. It's a notch above most and one of the few that I will stop and watch when it's on. Frankly, it's one of the best things that Pierce Brosnan has done. I liked him as James Bond, don't get me wrong, but he is really good in MURDER 101. For some reason, Prof. Charles Lattimore resonates with me more than James Bond, I think it's because this character reminds me more of Brosnan's portrayal of the cheeky, mischievous Remington Steele, which I really enjoyed. I feel like Brosnan is more comfortable playing this type of character. Brosnan is his usual charming, slick self and plays the role with his natural slyness and appeal.MURDER 101 is actually a rather intricate, complex tale of Lattimore (played by Brosnan), who gathered evidence that helped convict his best friend, a doctor, of his wife's murder. He subsequently writes a best seller about it becomes famous. While working on his 2nd book, Charlie takes job at local university to teach class with the same title, Murder 101, as the film. The student's job is to write essay where they plan the perfect murder. While this is going on, actual murders are occurring and Charlie gets himself caught in the thick of it all.This is a really entertaining movie with a complex plot and tongue-in-cheek style, thanks to the charming Mr. Brosnan. A really nice one to see late at night if you want to be entertained.
Pierce Brosnan is one of the few actors that can move from role torole with ease. He has never been restricted by the James Bondrole. From the volcano expert in Dante's Peak, to Mrs Doubtfire,and the Russian spy who fights Michael Caine in The FourthProtocol. In Murder 101, an ingenious thriller, Brosnan plays CharlesLattimore a succsseful author, who has written a best seller, abouta famous murder trial. While he is giving a series of lectures at alocal college, a student in his class is found murdered, while sheis spending the night with Lattimore. With his alibi dead, and thepolice hot on his trail, Lattimore begins to suspect that the subjectof his book, is behind the killing. Along with his ex wife, and the other students, he sets out tounmask the real killer. An enjoyable thriller, with a good twist in the tale. I wouldrecommend anyone to see it, but don't miss the final scene, it'swonderful.
I just saw this movie on tv, and I must admit, it was much better than I thought it would be. In the past, I have not been a huge fan of Pierce Brosnin, but he was really good in this movie. He played a much different character from the action movies I remember him for. It was a nice change. The movie grabbed your attention and kept you wondering how it would all play out in the end. It was one of the best TV movies I have seen. I highly reccomend this movie!
I saw this movie in terrible Czech dubbing, but there are good jokes and satire in this movie which is difficult to erase. Slow motion in story but great in atmosphere, cast and in total feeling. And if you are a fan of Pierce Brosnan, don't miss this movie.
