Rating: 3/5 --
Often, Patricia Highsmith's novels are adapted into high-class affairs, but this thriller feels refreshingly small-time and pulpy, getting closer to the story's raw emotions and impulses.

Anyone jonesing for an eyeful of 'Mad Men'-era production design will find plenty to savor in A KIND OF MURDER, the first English-language screen adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s 'The Blunderer.'

Rating: 3/5 --
Where A Kind of Murder excels is with one of the key themes found in Patricia Highsmith's novel - ambiguity - the success of which comes primarily thanks to Patrick Wilson in his performance as Walter Stackhouse.

Screen Comment
While thrills are mitigated by convoluted plotting and suspect character behavior, the film's uniquely bleak twist on classic noir conventions is enlivening.
