A Kind of Murder

In 1960s Manhattan, architect/amateur detective Walter Stackhouse (Patrick Wilson) found a few outlets from life with his shrewish, neurotic spouse Clara (Jessica Biel). One was freelance dabbling in the recent case of a suspected wife murderer (Eddie Marsan), and the other was a dalliance with a gorgeous nightclub singer (Haley Bennett). However, when Clara turns up dead--and the investigating cop (Vincent Kartheiser) puts the wrong pieces together--Walter’s side pursuits may have ruinous consequences, in this intriguing adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s "The Blunderer." 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
