Set in Miami, Big Trouble's hectic, fast-paced plot brings together and extremely complicates the lives of a fantastic entourage of characters in a manner reminiscent of Snatch. Big Trouble begins with a long-haired Jason Lee munching Fritos and giving a brief monologue, and then quickly moves on to muck up the lives of a frus trated humor columnist (played by Tim Allen), his son, an embezzling weapons developer and his fam ily, a pair of assassins, a pair of cops, two ex-con victs, a couple of Russian arms dealers and a pair of FBI agents. When the assassins arrive and are foiled in their attempt to kill the weapons developer by a teenage “assassin" game, the weapons developer decides to buy a stolen Russian nuclear bomb, only to have it Murder by Numbers Castlerock Pictures Starring: Sandra Bullock Murder by Numbers, Sandra Bullock’s latest attempt at a serious role, is about as enter taining as a calculus midterm. But it is not Bullock, or any other cast member, who is to blame for this poor excuse of a suspense thriller. For the most part, the acting was commend able. The culpability rests in the hands of the screenwriters, whose artistic aptitude is easily surpassed by a third-grader’s talent with a crayon. The plot, a hideously devised void of concrete cohesiveness, begins when seasoned rogue police detective Cassie Mayweather (Bullock) is assigned to a case involving the murder of a local young woman. Rookie gumshoe Sam Kennedy (Ben Chaplin) is Mayweather’s new partner, and a completely frivolous sexual relationship begins and ends between the two. Clues even tually point to Richard Haywood (Ryan Gosling) and his clandestine co-culprit Justin Pendleton (Michael Pitt), an unlikely pair con sidering that the former is a teen House Maj jongressmar jmade that q fersity.

The plot of Murder by Numbers — a paradoxical statement in itself — is saturated with unsupported and underdeveloped subplots, includ ing Justin’s adoration for his class mate Lisa (Agnes Bruckner), an entirely unnecessary character. Also disposable was Cassie’s frequent flashbacks, a failed attempt by the writers and direc tors to give an artsy edge to the screenplay and to explain Cassie’s readiness to get to the bottom of the case.
