User Reviews

An above average thriller

Pierce Brosnan is one of the few actors that can move from role to

role with ease. He has never been restricted by the James Bond

role. From the volcano expert in Dante's Peak, to Mrs Doubtfire,

and the Russian spy who fights Michael Caine in ‘The Fourth

Protocol. In Murder 101, an ingenious thriller, Brosnan plays Charles

Lattimore a succsseful author, who has written a best seller, about

a famous murder trial. While he is giving a series of lectures at a

local college, a student in his class is found murdered, while she

is spending the night with Lattimore. With his alibi dead, and the

police hot on his trail, Lattimore begins to suspect that the subject

of his book, is behind the killing. Along with his ex wife, and the other students, he sets out to

unmask the real killer. An enjoyable thriller, with a good twist in the tale. I would

recommend anyone to see it, but don't miss the final scene, it's

wonderful.
