Title: Fun yet Preposterous
Product review: Murder in Mind is quite a ride, but ultimately, it crashes. One can see why Ms. Parker was interested in the role(s). Like The Robber Bride, MiM provided Ms. Parker to play her characters from different perspectives. And I should add, she delivers as does Jimmy Smits. The first hour of the film works successfully in keeping the viewer off balanced and reevaluating. It's a wonderful ride until the last 20 minutes, where for this writer, the film turned into a sinister take on Shaw's Pygmalion. Interesting idea, but the story took such an over the top and preposterous road that it leaves one feeling disappointed, confused and a bit cheated. It was simply too much to swallow.Ms. Parker does a fine job and resists overplaying it, as unfortunately her costar Nigel Hawthorne, failed to do in the end (I expected better from him).Interesting yet with an over the top and wacky ending.Grade: C-
