SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

nadinesalakovv Plot: Someone is killing people in Portland, Oregon, and later blackmails the relatives, who profit most from the deaths.Review: Walkmans, dodgy perms, and Casio keyboard 90s music are the least of this film's problems. Murder C.O.D. is slow-paced, not 100% great performances, full of silly one-liners and has an overall ludicrous movie-plot. This film is corny from start to finish, it's obvious why this hasn't had a remake. Murder C.O.D is just about watchable, and is only worth watching if you can't find anything else to watch.

merklekranz William Devane's performance as a creepy blackmailer and murderer, makes "Murder C.O.D." an effective and thoroughly enjoyable thriller. His chilling note to the blackmail victims is, " For services rendered, one murder, $100,000.". This movie proves that a good script can go a long way, even in a limited budget production. The film maintains interest throughout, as Devane stalks his next "job". Using high tech surveillance equipment, he always seems to be one step ahead of the police, while effectively blending into the background like a chameleon. This one is highly recommended for those who like something beyond the ordinary police drama. - MERK

sol1218 **SPOILERS** William Devane is perfectly creepy as the shadowy and somewhat crazed killer Alex Brandt.

Steve gets himself transfered to Portland to get away from this crazy and murderous lunatic who threatened to murder his wife instead of telling her about his secret love affair. Alex then followed Steve and his unsuspecting wife Ellie to the Pacific coast city to shake him down for, what he thinks, is his well deserved fee. Being an electronics expert Alex uses hidden microphones, in places like fountain pens, to zero in and pick up conversations of people having material or family troubles. He then takes it upon himself to settle those differences for a hefty price, $100,00.00 in cash with no question's asked. While in Portland stalking and terrorizing the Murtaughs Alex takes time to make an extra $200,000,00 by murdering Arthur Kramer, Walter Hoppert, who he spied on abusing his wife Sally,Mariette Hartley,who threatened to kill him. Sending Mariette a note for payment for her husbands murder Alex has her blackmailed in the fact that she's the only suspect in his death. And if Mariette doesn't pay up he'll see to it that she ends up behind bars if she doesn't or goes to the police with his threats to her; Mariette pay's Alex the money and keep her mouth shut thus having Alex leave her alone.Murdering Leo Walsh, Alan Miller, by shoving him down an empty elevator shaft Alex demands $100,000.00 from his brother Jerry, Harris Laskaway, who's business Leon was going to buy out and get's it.

This leaves him open to be caught by the Portland Police who, together with Steve, set a number of traps on him. Alex almost gets caught in his secret hideout when the Portland Police track down where he's staying by him joining a local gun club, of all places, from where Alex ordered the unique paper that he wrote his blackmail notes on. Still obsessed with collecting his $100,000.00 from Steve who later admits to Ellie of his illicit affair back in Chicago, which almost breaks up their marriage, Alex keeps up the pressure but he also starts to get careless by unnecessary, in his arrogant hubris, exposing himself. There's one major fault in the movie "Murder COD" when Alex beaks into the hotel room where Ellie is being kept in hiding by the police. After murdering the policemen guarding her Alex lets her, for some strange and unexplained reason, live where she can later identify him. That lead to him being shot and killed by her husband Steve which brought the film down a few notches; otherwise the movie is a better then average made-for-TV suspense/thriller.
