    • Trivia
      The 2009 Bollywood movie Fox (2009) starring Arjun Rampal and Sunny Deol is inspired by this movie.
    • Goofs
      When looking over Marlowe's novel, Lawson, as narrator, notes that a "murder" refers to a group of crows, like an "exaltation of doves." However, an exaltation refers to larks, not doves. Doves are either a "dole" (or "dule") or a "flight."
    • Quotes

      Lawson Russell: There's an old saying: Money talks. The only thing I ever heard it say was "Goodbye".

    My kind of movie!
    I love legal thriller/mystery movies, and Murder of Crows was one of the best ones I've seen. Cuba Gooding plays a lawyer down on his luck who decides to write a book. His character in the movie mentioned John Grisham, which I thought was funny because I had just been comparing the movie plot to the way John Grisham writes. I was surprised and intrigued by Tom Berenger - he made quiet a convincing investigator. I think he would have been better cast as the main character.
