"Murder 101" is by far one of Pierce Brosnan's best performances in an almost tailored role for his Irish personality. I think I haven't seen him in a better movie before he played James Bond in 1995. Brosnan plays a writer who teaches how to write mystery stories. He's a little crazy about perfection in his novels and is very interesting to listen to when he gives writing lessons to his classes. I love Brosnan's performances and hope he could get back to this kind of role after he gives up the Bond role.
*SPOILERS*
"Murder 101" tells the story of mystery writer Charles Lattimore (Pierce Brosnan) who recently wrote a highly successful novel about the true story of Timothy Ryder (J. Kenneth Campbell) who murdered his wife. Lattimore spent time with Ryder to understand his story and didn't believe that Ryder was guilty. But success was more important than friendship for Lattimore as he betrayed Ryder and wrote that he killed his wife. Lattimore is hunted by the betrayal he did to his friend and finds out that the murders occurring on campus where he works are destined to frame him. So he thinks Ryder is setting him up with a student from Lattimore's class (Raphael Sbarge). Lattimore tries to prove his innocence with the help of his ex-wife (Dey Young) and settle the score with Ryder before things get worst.
This is a great TV-movie who could of been successful in theaters. It's a shame that it was broadcast on TV instead. It really is a wonderfully written movie that shows a difference between reality and fiction. Performances by Dey Young and Raphael Sbarge are excellent and make this movie shine on your TV. Rent it. I rate it 9/10.
