Murder

Summary: Better name might be Second Chance

If you're looking for an intricate murder mystery or a movie with plot twists that keep you guessing, this isn't it. But it's still worthwhile.

It's really about choices and what a person would do if they had a chance to start over. I don't want to give away the plot, which moves slowly and in a straight forward way. But although the movie is called Murder, it's really about people, how they get caught up in situations they don't like, and what they do when given a chance to change.

There is drama throughout, an element of tension is pervasive. But if you keep waiting for an "ah ha!" moment you'll be disappointed; but then, it would be a different movie and someone else would have to make this one.

This won't make anyone's Top 25, but it's worth watching. The acting and directing are excellent; the script's good. 7 of 10.

Summary: Poor

Starts off pretty good, but soon goes downhill. After 30 minutes it never really picks up again.

2/5

Lawyer Jessica Yau finds out about her husband's money launderingscheme and gets shot in the head. She survives, but loses her memory. She is cared for by Mei Mei Chen, a nurse she screwed over in a lawsuit before being shot. I haven't seen the movie _Regarding Henry_, but suspect the plot is very similar. Filmed in a very colorful house.

Summary: NULL

An unscrupulous investor tries to murder his lawyer wife, who's hidden away ten-million dollars and has even less conscience than he does. He fails. She revives from her coma an amnesiac, and now both her husband and a nurse she's maltreated want to kill and torture her, respectively. Interesting but creaky plot richly lives up to the film's title.

(2/4)
