Murder by Numbers is a 2002 mystery/thriller film directed by Barbet Schroeder, starring Sandra Bullock, Ben Chaplin, Michael Pitt, and Ryan Gosling.Detective Cassie Mayweather (Bullock) suspects more at work than an unplanned act of violence when a young woman is found strangled to death in a ditch. Her gut instincts get her in trouble with her supervisors, but they lead her correctly to privileged, smug high school student Richard Haywood (Gosling)... and from there to brooding Straw Nihilist Justin Pendleton (Pitt). The connection between the two boys is more than imagined, and as their mind games played with the police and with each other grow still more complicated, Cassie attempts to find some way to put an end to their plans.No relation to the 2020 visual novel with the same title. | |

That One Case | |
| Murder by Numbers (2002) / int_2ea2680a | comment |
That One Case: It haunts Cassie's career and clouds her judgement, since her current suspect reminds her of the perp. That case being her own attempted murder at the hands of an abusive husband. | |

No Sense of Personal Space: Richard doesn't really care about personal space around Justin. He invades it on a daily basis and makes a point out of hugging him any chance he gets. invokedNot that Justin seems to mind all that much. | |
