Writer-director Rowdy Herrington takes innocence, guilt, ambition, and morality, and twists them into a suspenseful, seductive spiral that can't help but suck you in. When defense attorney Russell Lawson (Cuba Gooding Jr.) realizes his client (Eric Stoltz) is guilty, he turns on him mid-trial--a move that costs him both the case and his career. Disbarred and disheartened, he retreats to Key West, where he meets a peculiar retired teacher named Christopher Marlowe and the film's roller coaster ride begins. In a quick reversal of fortune, Lawson makes an ethical compromise and becomes wildly successful--and then just as suddenly becomes a fugitive from the law, trying to track down a murderer before being tracked down himself. Gooding's constant voice-overs tend to distract from the story rather than add to it; however, his down-home earnestness makes him a good foil for a cranky cop (Tom Berenger) who appears to be more interested in making an arrest than in finding the truth. But then nothing here is what it first appears to be, and although Herrington leaves just enough clues for the astute viewer to pick up on the film's central metaphor, the conclusion still manages to surprise. With such a talented cast and tight writing, it's hard to fathom why A Murder of Crows didn't do better in theaters. At least on video the film, like Lawson, is given a second chance. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

 Where's the information about the music by Shane August? September 20, 2008
I've been searching for the music from this movie and have been unable to find a soundtrack or any other music by the artist Shane August.
Any ideas?
 A Murder of Crows July 23, 2008
I really enjoyed this movie. It was great, I thought the acting was very good and the story was really different. I don't really understand the idea that it was formula-type! I never saw another story like it, and it kept your interest all the way through it. I thought it was a unique mystery.
A Great Mystery! February 24, 2008
One of my favorite unknowns! Before mystery movies became a dime a dozen, there was "A Murder of Crows"! Cuba Gooding Jr., Tom Berenger, how could you not watch this movie. I own it and have let many friends borrow it, not one bad review yet! Watch this great movie!!
Exciting from Beginning to End January 14, 2008
A friend of mine had this movie and we watched it one night. I had to have a copy of my own. This is the type of movie you can watch again and again and still enjoy and possibly find things you did not notice the first time. Very entertaining and incredibly interesting. Great plot, fantastic actors!
I've watched this over and over December 1, 2007
Even though not highly rated by the critics, I love this movie. The story is unique, mixing mystery with great characters in a wonderful setting... I've watched this movie several times over a few years.. I still watch it...Acting is great.
