Murder by Numbers (2002)🩸🧩

Murder by Numbers (2002), directed by Barbet Schroeder, is a psychological crime thriller starring Sandra Bullock, Ryan Gosling, and Michael Pitt. Loosely inspired by the infamous Leopold and Loeb case, the film follows two intelligent but disturbed high school students who attempt to commit the perfect murder—only to be pursued by a determined detective.
Sandra Bullock plays Cassie Mayweather, a tough and emotionally guarded homicide detective with a dark past. When she investigates a seemingly random murder, she begins to suspect that two privileged students, Richard (Gosling) and Justin (Pitt), are behind it. As she digs deeper, mind games and manipulation unfold, leading to an intense game of cat and mouse.

The film is gripping, with strong performances—particularly from a young Ryan Gosling, who exudes chilling charisma as the dominant force in the twisted duo. Bullock delivers a solid performance, balancing vulnerability and toughness. While the plot follows familiar crime thriller beats, its psychological depth and unsettling dynamic between the killers make it compelling.
If you enjoy dark, slow-burn thrillers with psychological tension, Murder by Numbers is worth a watch!
