Review of A Murder of Crows (1999) by Guido S — 22 Jan 2017
A disbarred lawyer tries to start writing, but he struggles until meeting a strange ol man who just so happens to have a transcript of a book he is writing. When Gooding tries to find him, he finds out he passed away. So he ends up stealing the book to critical acclaim. However, he starts to get in trouble when the cops get word of his book and find out it describes murders in detail. He ends up escaping the police and is able to elude them to solve the mystery on his own.
My biggest problem was the *twist* was so obvious from the get go of the strange man being bot the killer and the detective investigating his death. I just needed to fill in the blanks. The acting is terrible, like made for tv bad. I laughed out loud a few times at things that shouldn't have been funny.
It wasn't too bad, it was somewhat interesting, but Gooding being able to elude the cops for so long made no sense. Neither did why the killer would essentially confess. Not to mention, how did Gooding not have an alibi for any of the murders?
Could have been better, but ends up disappointing.
