You can thank Patricia Highsmith for providing the source material for thrillers such as “The Talented Mr. Ripley” and “Strangers On A Train,” and the author’s work is once again serving as inspiration, this time for “A Kind Of Murder.” And it’s the kind of thorny thriller you’d expect from the masterful Highsmith.
Starring Jessica Biel, Patrick Wilson, Haley Bennett, Eddie Marsan and Vincent Kartheiser, the film follows an architect obsessed with murder and having an affair, who gets mixed up with a killer and an intensely curious detective. Here’s the official synopsis:
In 1960s New York, Walter Stackhouse is a successful architect married to the beautiful Clara who leads a seemingly perfect life. But his fascination with an unsolved murder leads him into a spiral of chaos as he is forced to play cat-and-mouse with a clever killer and an overambitious detective, while at the same time lusting after another woman.
“A Kind Of Murder” opens in theaters and On Demand on December 16th.
