Review of iMurders (2008) by Knightfall H — 22 Nov 2009
IMurders begins with a mysterious love triangle involving an angry wife, a cheating husband, an unsuspecting internet hook-up chick, and a murder. After that ambiguous opening, we are presented with a HUGE ensemble cast working so many angles and sub-plots within this film that if you blink too much, you'll definitely lose track of the story.
The basic gist of it is a group of different people (namely Jennifer Estlin, Gabrielle Anwar, William Forsythe, and some others) who engage in online chatting. They decide to play one of their monthly games, which happens to be a murder mystery.
Things turn deadly real though when an actual murderer starts killing the group one by one. Now, THAT actual story comprises maybe 45 minutes of 100 minute long movie. If you're smart, you'll figure out the twist/killer immediately.
As for the other 55 minutes of this film; COMPLETELY wasted in side stories that are utterly irrelevant to the initial plot. Stuff like a crazy chick wanting revenge on her female lover's murderer, another love triangle in another town, etc.
It was almost like several nonsensical movies in one. And look at that cast! Charles Durning...wasted, Billy Dee Williams...wasted, Dan Grimaldi...wasted, Anwar...wasted, Forsythe...wasted, Tony Todd.
..wasted. Much like some of the top-notch people within this film, the overall end result is a complete waste and unoriginal. The deaths and gore are a waste as well, not to mention the title isn't even clever (or catchy) enough to follow the actual technology being utilized in the film.
Funniest parts of the movie: FBI agent Brooke Lewis who gets several close-up shots of her face even though there is something visibly wrong with her eyeball. Disgusting! Piss poor movie.
