A Kind of Murder

A Kind of Murder (2016) is a neo-noir thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Andy Goddard and set in early 1960s New York. Walter Stackhouse has everything on the surface — a successful architecture practice, a handsome apartment, a beautiful wife. The wife is the problem. Clara's jealousy and threats have made home a slow suffocation, and Walter has been mentally drafting the divorce papers for years.

Patrick Wilson plays Walter as a man who drifts toward danger the way moths drift toward light — not stupidly, just fatally. When a newspaper story surfaces about a bookseller named Kimmel whose wife was murdered under suspicious circumstances, Walter can't leave it alone. Jessica Biel and Haley Bennett frame the two women pulling him in opposite directions, while Eddie Marsan's detective circles quietly, building a case out of coincidences.

Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel The Blunderer, the film keeps her signature question intact: not who did it, but how much guilt can accumulate before it stops mattering whether you're innocent. Stream A Kind of Murder (2016) on iFILM.
