John Hurt, the man who was Gandalf 'the grey' in the Lord of The rings trilogy is professor Arthur Seldom here. Elijah Wood, remembered for his Frodo character in the above trilogy has shared an impeccable screen space with Hurt as his would be disciple in The Oxford murders. The professor-student duo join forces to discover the truth behind a series of puzzling murders happening in the Oxford university campus. Based upon the spanish novel Crímenes imperceptibles (translated as Oxford murders) by Guillermo Martínez, this movie has a super woven story, perfectly blended with mathematical strategies and formulas. The casting is exceptionally good and it would be a sin if the presence of the beautiful spanish actress Leonor watling is not mentioned. She does a perfect job and her romance with the much younger Elijah Wood has come well throughout.
Why to watch:
You don't get to see different, out of the box mystery movies often. This is one of its kind. Story written by mathematician and novelist Guillermo Martínez makes this movie stand ahead of its contemporary mystery movies. Why wait? Watch it now.
