Review of A Murder of Crows (1999) by Drew C — 14 Sep 2013
Cuba Gooding plays an embittered lawyers turned novelist who moves to Key West, Florida to get inspiration but nothing works. So he meets an old guy who has written an interesting tale but not yet submitted it and then old guy dies and he steals the manuscript. But guess what? The tale becomes a best seller and then the law shows up because it plots out exactly how a string of lawyer murders took place.
Also starring Tom Berenger, Ashley Laurence and Eric Stoltz.
Good enough tale but not great. Tropical Key West location helps it a slight notch, too.
CINEMATOGRAPHY: B; STORY/PLOTTING/EDITING: B; CHARACTERS/DIALOGUE: B minus to B; INVESTIGATION THREADS: B to B plus; OVERALL GRADE: B; WHEN WATCHED: early October 2012(streamed).
