“A Kind Of Murder” (** out of four) was a kind of dud set in 1960’s NYC about a wealthy architect (Patrick Wilson) whose aloof and estranged wife (Jessica Biehl) is murdered soon after she learned of him having an affair and this subsequently leads to him being plunged into a whirlpool of rage, jealousy, and guilt as he is suspected of her murder. Voluptuous and vibrant cinematography and striking art direction capturing the allure of 1960’s NY can’t stop this from ringing hollow, simply because we don’t care about any of the characters or story. Good attempt at a throwback to film-noir could have used more mystery and plot twists.
