wonsaesang It was the poster that caught my attention to this film but after I watched it, it was totally different experience than I thought it would be. This film is unique in a sense. We see so many movies out there with guns and blood without good stories. This film is very calm and non-violent that it came to me as style which I love it. It flows so gently that you feel like you're floating on water while you're watching it. The score and music in this film is amazing. When the ending credit rolls up, the music keeps you in your seat. This movie is not for the audience who wants to experience hell of a ride. This film is for those who wants to see the characters and a story. It is beautifully lit and well acted. The film has a unique style. Highly recommended.

TrumpetGuy818 With the saturation of gratuitous violence, nudity, and obscenities so prevalent in today's film-making, the producers of Murder On The Yellow Brick Road offer to it's audience a murder mystery in the genre of film noir… a good, old fashioned Raymond Chandler styled "who-done-it"... without any of those elements. It appears that their vision was to buck the current trend and tell their story based on the strength of it's characters, plot, and exquisite cinematography, as well as offering a film to parents that they could enjoy as well as having the ability to bring their children to see without having to cover their eyes and ears. Interestingly, even though the film deals with a death and it's aftermath, Murder On The Yellow Brick Road is a kind and gentle film... concentrating on character relationships rather than mayhem, and is paced so the viewer can enjoy the cinematic elements that makes this film successful... an intelligent story, sturdy acting, pin-point direction by Ross Hagen, fine editing, exceptional music, and exquisite lighting. If you want to take a trip back in time to the shadowy days when there were hidden secrets around every dark corner... Murder On The Yellow Brick Road is a prime example of independent film making... a film well worth visiting.

leftycspa MURDER ON THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD is a fun to watch film that took me back to the back and white era of film-making. I was extremely impressed by both the story and character lines. It really tugged at my heart. The acting makes the film, led by Ken Butler's sensational portrayal of Detective Joe Patterson and Ross Hagen's superb portrayal of the P.I., Elwood Dick. Their friendship was so natural and down to earth, that it didn't seem like they were acting at all. The performance of Pilar Lastra as Gabrielle Mendez is also worth mentioning. She seems to be a relative newcomer, but her presence is undeniable. The same can be said for Charlene Fernetz as Rachel Dowd. She represents today's modern woman with dignity and style. I also loved the music, especially the theme song, Boulevard Of Dreams. Leslie Gillman's voice is haunting and soulful, fully realizing the music written by John Corlis and the lyrics written by Eric Belgau, who also wrote the screenplay. If you are a fan of murder mysteries, don't miss this one. It is definitely the best Yellow Brick Road to follow since the one to Oz.

everythingpink Murder on the Yellow Brick Road is a sharp, sexy, visually-stunning throw-back to "Old Hollywood." I was immediately seduced by this crime story of the heart. The acting truly makes the film. KEN BUTLER's intense portrayal of Joe Patterson definitely stood out. With eyes that stare right through you, this no-nonsense detective takes full command of the screen. I was particularly impressed by the relationship between his character and Elwood Dick, played by the rugged & lovable ROSS HAGEN. This twosome embodies the ultimate in male camaraderie & tough love. It was a pleasure watching the talented actors play off one another so effortlessly and with such realism. HAGEN's gravelly narration takes us back to another time - a time worth revisiting. A final performance well worth highlighting is that of CHARLENE FERNETZ as Rachel Dowd. She brought a beauty and a charisma to the film not otherwise present. Clearly an talent trained in naturalism, she was a joy to watch.Follow the Yellow Brick Road - you won't be sorry...
