Bad writing

I liked the people in this movie but it could have been far better. The story line didn't track and the final scenes are not explained. How did she know who was and who wasn't the one. Also writer doesn't or should I say didn't have a very good grasp of police or what they would or would not realize and when.

Cold killer ...... clever thriller ...............

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

Energetic TV Movie

"Murder C.O.D." is a fast-paced and exciting TV Movie. The plot is about Alex (William Devane) who is a hit-man. After he does a random killing, he sends the other grieving family members a bill for $100,000. If they don't pay up, Alex will frame them for the murder. Patrick Duffy plays the detective who has to stop him. The plot is original, and William Devane plays the hit-man with pitch-perfect precision. Patrick Duffy also puts in a good performance as the detective.

If you want a cool mystery that has you on the edge of you seat, this is it.

Goofs
Despite the sudden arrival of several police cars with multiple officers swarming to the lair of Alex Brandt, he escapes from the outside rear of the building with not single officer in sight--an incomprehensible blunder since standard police procedure from time immemorial mandates both front and back exits be covered and guarded. A more tactical and believable escape route incorporated into the screenplay would have been, for example, a long tunnel having an inconspicuous outlet.
