gridoon "Murder 101" is a not-bad made-for-TV mystery movie. Some of its red herrings are a bit obvious, but the final revelation is indeed a surprise. However, the WAY the movie manages to surprise you is, as someone else on this page has already said, by breaking its own rules. At one point, college professor/mystery writer Brosnan teaches his students that when they reveal the villain in a mystery story, they must have left enough clues for the reader/viewer to make him say "Of course! How didn't I think of that?". That's exactly what this movie DOESN'T do. It leaves out the clues that are essential for someone to discover the real culprit behind the crimes. So I guess you could say that it cheats. But if you like Brosnan, you may not mind. (**)

Lee Bartholomew (spoilers??)While I did think it was obvious that MD had something to do with it, this movie wasn't too bad. Especially since its on the Goodtimes label on DVD. Normally Goodtimes have less than stellar movies. And normally the actors would love to forget them. But this one stands out. Probably because Brosnan is so good, this movie wouldn't have worked without him. The ending, while not done often, has been done before. most memorable with Chicago Joe and the Showgirl. But interesting.It did surprise me that this movie was done in 1991. Long before James Bond. I'd simply assumed this was a newer movie. Oh well. I recommend this. I'll probably buy it.7/10Quality: 8/10 Entertainment: 6/10 Replayable: 7/10

NolanSorrento This is probably one of the coolest made for TV suspense movies I've ever seen. The movie walks you through the whole formula on how to do a suspense/murder movie and even with all this knowledge you still get surprised on who the actual killer is, even though all the answers are being handed to you in a step-by-step formula. I really recommend this movie to anybody who has a friend that your always stuck having to explain Usual Suspects to.

lautus The first time i saw the movie was in summer 1995 on TV (France 3) and i loved it. I'd just finish a class of screen writing one month before. This movie is a feast for screenwriters! The art of the drama is completely explained, the spectator is many time warned how it works, it is exalted! The atmosphere of the campus gives you envy to go back to school! I look it at least once per year!
