  (7.0 Out of 10) While The Oxford Murders (2008) may be about mathematics, it only sticks to formula as much as it has to. The mystery plays out like a tightly wound puzzle, its characters talk about the conclusions in perspective detail, and the film eschews action in favor of philosophical theory. The film is a thinking man’s murder mystery, the sort of film for the set of its title: being both highfalutin yet dry in its presentation. Although The Oxford Murders may be a bit too talky, considering the characters’ conversations are actually interesting it maintains an interest through its own schematics and John Hurt’s performance, making it surely a lesson most invigorating.
