    Sandra Bullock is always entertaining. She plays a role here unlike most of her other movies. The suspense at the end is very good!

    Murder by Numbers is decent but has a flawed plot. But the acting is truly excellent, especially the performances form Sandra Bullock and Ryan Gosling. 7 out of 10

    This movie had it's good points. There was definitely a strange homosexual undertone between the two highschool male killers which suprised me. Sandra Bullock is decent in her cheesy role. This movie is worth a watch.
