All-American Murder

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen... and i was in it! Most of it was filmed on the campus at Oklahoma State University, where i was attending college at the time. I'm in a few scenes, which for me personally, was the only cool thing about the movie. I'm one of the students that runs up and finds the burning body on campus, and I'm in a couple of other scenes.

It does have a decent entrance by Walken... very Walkenesque, and entertaining. He's really one of the only things that lifts this train wreck from the complete utter depths of horrible.

Other than that it was good to get to hang out with Mr Walken briefly, and Richard Kind was very cool and hung out with us all quit a bit, and even played golf with some of us one day. Josie Bissett...well let's just say she really didn't say two words to any of us, and leave it at that.

Got a sympathy 3 from me merely because Walken and Kind were in it, and provided some cheesy, campy, wth moments. Incredibly horrible directing... so much so, the director should have played it off as 'I meant for it to have this surreal sucking, b movie thriller quality. huh, huh.. i meant to do that.' Yeah right.

Here's a thriller which stands completely alone, with great casting and a great twist. And we have the charismatic and handsome rebel, Schlatter, who this time, receives a much higher education, he didn't want. One involving survival. The new kid at school, and falling head over heels for the most popular girl, hot Bissett, he soon becomes the prime suspect in her murder, her burning and charred remains at the campus's footsteps. Walken is fun as narcissistic detective , only one of 2, who believes Schlatter to be innocent, where soon, lone investigator Schlatter, becomes in over his head as acquaintances, like the hot Cassidy he beds, are taken out, so who is the killer. All American Murder is a really fun thriller and juicy entertainment, where an unclad Bissett, makes us see how sexy she really is., with our feasting vision. A couple of red herrings, not enough thrown in, AAM is a low key thriller, but it works, due to Schlatter's charismatic and enthusiastic performance, the film opening up, with such a weird amusing scene or more correctly WTF scene. Good music too, showing the 90's up, for what they were. Some nasty gore too

I saw this one because I am a big fan of Josie Bissett(Jane from Melrose Place) and I wanted to see her in a movie role so I went to the video store and was suprised that they had this. All-American Murder is pretty good. It's not fantastic but worth a look if your in the mood for a thriller.

Listen, I've seen this movie a hundred times, showing it to friends and family as a lark. It's a hilarious buddy-movie/murder-mystery with witty, punny-yet-intelligent dialog ala Clue. No, there's nothing groundbreaking here, and the production values are what you would expect from something that, I believe, went straight to video. But why should that matter? This film is completely unpredictable, and has such classic lines as "The dean has knocked off more undergraduates than Kent State." (Hilarious, if you know some basic American history and get the double-ententre.) Most movies these days require that even simple verisimilitude fly out the window, so suspend disbelief, enter with no expectation, and enjoy. It'll keep you guessing, and laughing, until the very end.

In spite of some charming dialogue and a cast of seasoned professionals, All-American Murder doesn't have quite enough style or panache to thrill much and the pacing lags a bit after the first murder. The final twist is genuinely surprising, but there's not a lot of suspense or thrills on the way to getting there. Christopher Walken seems like a surprising choice for a role like this in a film such as this, but he's one of the more entertaining aspects of the film.
