Coming across like something a wannabe-hip teacher would show to a class of schoolkids, the overall soap opera quality and gratuitous mathmatical mumbo-jumbo hurl this onto the 'knew I shouldn't have bothered' pile. Becomes almost so-bad-it's-good with two or three (unintentionally) laugh-out-loud moments, and pretty much confirms what I always suspected: Elijah Wood can't act.

Started acceptably, and just got worse and worse as it went on, to the point that we were openly mocking towards the end. I know that movies look more "intelligent" when their promotional materials are covered in math equations, but sometimes it's just not the case.

Wants to be clever, but ends up plain stupid. According to the DVD-cover the director is a master at his craft....??!!!! Nice tits, though.

A murderer emphasising mathematics, eh? For once, a mystery movie lives up to the promise of its premise - so The Oxford Murders basically sucks.

What an awfully mediocre film. The book was pretty good but this just threw away any development points that could lead to a reasonable thinking of the resolution and simply gave the characters the answers whenever they needed it, scheming complicated crime plots in a matter of seconds. The locations and the ending were kinda nice overall (despite the plotholes and what I have mentioned before) but this is really nothing to look forward to. I loved Gorman as Podorov, though.

Repulisvely wannabe-witty dialogue with banal philosophys seasoned with terrible acting and cliché characters.

The mystery itself is extremely involving, but everything else about this movie -- literally everything, from the school-play acting to the frankly terrible script and the piddlycrap subplots that go nowhere and only serve to inflate the film's length -- renders this a waste of time. Despite this, Gorman manages to stand out as by far the worst thing here in his (mercifully brief) role as what I can only assume is supposed to be some sort of genius crackhead. A near-total waste of time.
