The Filthy Critic hates Murder by Numbers .
Murder by Numbers stinks. This "thriller" is about as perfunctory as a third-grade class repeating the pledge of allegiance. All the obligatory words are there and they're in the right order, but they're repeated by rote by people who don't give a shit. And they're already obvious to even Lloyd and the Harelip. It's as bland as its title and as unoriginal as its use of numbers for letters (Murd3r 8y Num8ers). It's like they thought, "Hey, that letter-number thing worked for Seven so maybe it'll work for us if we're even more obnoxious about it."
