A Perfect Murder is based on Frederick Knott's play Dial M for Murder, filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954. Married to commodities trader Stephen Taylor (Michael Douglas), Emily Bradford (Gwyneth Paltrow) is romantically involved with artist David Shaw (Viggo Mortensen). Aware of this affair, Stephen researches David's past, visits his loft studio, and informs David that he knows about his aliases, jail sentences, and various cons and scams directed at rich women. Then Stephen offers David $500,000 to murder Emily, and David agrees. The plan is calculated to make the murder look like an accident, but events soon go on an unscheduled course. Enter Detective Mohamed Karaman (David Suchet). Knott's original play opened June 1952 in London, followed by a New York run that began October 1952. Several books and sources describe how Hitchcock's film was made in 3-D but neglect to mention that, despite trade screenings in 3-D, Dial M for Murder was originally released in 1954 with ordinary, flat 2-D prints. It was finally shown to audiences in 3-D during the mid-'80s. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

This is an example of what every remake should be. Every bit as good as the first if not better. Paltro and Douglas shine.

Steve B.

Another great one by Michael Douglas, who I have dubbed the king of thrillers. His portrayal of the cold hearted Steven Taylor in this one is a work of cinematic art!!!!!

Yes   |   No


Toni V.

Flicka held my rapt attention. The acting was outstanding as was the spectacular scenery of the Wyoming countryside. If you're the crying, sentimental type, I suggest keeping a box of tissues handy for this movie as it makes the viewer feel a full range of emotions.
