Tile M for Murder

It's a hot day, and Dave hates his wife. He should be out doing exercise, spending money, meeting people. Instead, he's playing word games with her. At this point, Dave is a prisoner of marriage until the day he dies. He's losing hope and losing his marbles. But, as the game continues, a series of ironic events lead him to realize that what seems like just a stupid, old board game might be the key to his escape or, for that matter, his downfall.

Directed by Andrew Edison, Katie McDowell, Tile M for Murder leans on a strong ensemble — Kurt Bauer, Tina Samuelsen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2007.
