7/10
a plot as perfect as the murder planned
1 October 2006
Steven (Michael Douglas) and Emily Taylor (Gwyneth Paltrow) look like the typical rich New Yorkers: he's twice her age, they live in a high-rise, and both have prestigious jobs. But she doesn't know that he's planning to have her killed to pay off his debts. And he doesn't know that she's cleverer than he thinks.

"A Perfect Murder" does a very good job updating "Dial M for Murder". They keep the suspense going every step of the way. And they really pull some surprises. Equally as good as the aforementioned stars is Viggo Mortensen; he gives sort of an air of Aragorn's bad side. But either way, this is certainly a movie that I recommend. Also starring Sarita Choudhury.
