StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

adonis98-743-186503 An ex-tennis pro carries out a plot to murder his wife. When things go wrong, he improvises a brilliant plan B. Dial M for Murder is just as stylish as both 'Rear Window' and 'Psycho' were but unfortunately the storyline is just not as good as those film were, the acting is very good alongside the cinematography and that very good Hitchcock amount of atmosphere but the tension and the suspense is just not there i'm afraid and it's disappointing cause this movie had some very good things about it and some not to good things about it and it's meh. (5/10)

siqian-53477 Dial M for Murder "Well, because in stories things usually turn out the way the author wants them to; and in real life they don't... always." Yes, this murder didn't go quite as expected. In the beginning, the betrayal of Mrs.Wendice(Grace Kelly) gave the audiences a sense of leading turmoil, and Mr.Wendice(Ray Milland)' meeting with a special guest(Anthony Dawson) slowly revealed their conspiracy..."Dial M for Murder" was a crime drama that directed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1954, starring Grace Kelly, Ray Milland, John Williams, Robert Cummings and John Williams. This film described a tennis player Tony wants to murder his wife to obtain her possession after he found out his wife's affair with Mark Halliday. Tony came up a perfect plan of killing his wife that will create an alibi for himself. When things didn't happen as expected, Tony has trouble to prove his "innocent" to the inspector(John Williams) who later arrived the scene.The movie mainly shot in one room, which makes it harder for audiences to focus for a long period. Instead of changing in location, the fast pacing of the story constantly hooked audiences' attention.The acting part was sophisticated which means every expression on their face tells their inner emotion. For example, when Tony's presses his lips together to force a stiff smile, it gives you an idea of untrustworthy.The movie is one of those classic films you will watch over and over again without getting out of interest.

jdmoviechatter Although this film lacks the more cinematic qualities of some of Hitchcock's best work, it is a wonderfully twisty turny tale of murder and betrayal that kept me thrilled pretty much the whole time, even though the movie is mostly just people talking. It has solid performances and a gripping story. I would recommend this one especially if you like Hitchcock. You'll probably like it.

nadinesalakovv As a film fan who has always had a limited movie preference of Hollywood movies from the 80s to today, iv'e recently decided to expand my movie viewing horizons and try to watch different films, example, foreign movies and old movies like this. I rented and just finished streaming Dial M For Murder on Amazon Prime Video for the first time and am very impressed with this movie, it is very good, well-acted and the story is brilliant. Most of the film is set in a small flat, but the flick still manages to be gripping.The film score is dramatically perfect for every scene, the attack/attempted murder scene was disturbing, but thank God it wasn't that long. As soon as this movie starts it gets straight to the point, this is one of the major differences between movies back then and movies of today, even though the plot is explained - most movies today take their time telling the story, they show the characters meeting for the first time, dating, then getting married e.c.t. But these old movies just cut straight to the chase. I didn't hear any swear words or profanity in this cine and it was still a great film. Obviously movie-makers of today still watch these old films due to references and remakes, they are obviously inspired by these old movies, but why not take being inspired one step further and exclude blasphemous words and curse words?! Obviously films today add swearing in a lot of dialogue because society has changed and the majority of people swear in their vocabulary in everyday life, but it would still be good if movies banned swearing, it would make films overall even better.Dial M For Murder is a must-watch, it's very suspenseful, i enjoyed it. Not all of Alfred Hitchcock's movies look appealing, in my book, but i will continue to look through his filmography because there are probably some more really good films like this one.
