Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
...a fast-paced thriller that probably will leave Alfred Hitchcock aficionados mourning its shallowness -- but not until after they've enjoyed an adrenaline rush.

rotten:
None of the amusement gained in watching the performances, unfortunately, amounts to much, as the script, in a desperate attempt to lend action interest to the original, static, puzzle plot, compounds surprise turn after surprise turn.

What the film lacks is suspense, surprise (the new ending is a dud) and passion.

rotten:
A Perfect Murder begins better than it ends, and the pleasures it offers turn out to be more of a transitory nature.

fresh:
His [Davis] direction is swift and very effective, and the movie, shot in shades of ebony (the color of black marble), looks exceptionally handsome.
