But as Clinton searches for the truth, he begins to uncover a conspiracy that goes far deeper than he anticipated.

	Author	Review
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"A dead pet isn't the only inert element of 'Murder of a Cat,' a plodding comic caper that fails to deliver"	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"A pleasant enough comic thriller, though it's the lead character - not the cat - you might most want to see murdered"	POS
United States	Joe Neumaier New York Daily News	"This is a perfect example of the kind of indie movie J.K. Simmons will hopefully never have to do again if he wins an Oscar for 'Whiplash'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Rex Reed The New York Observer	"[It] is so amateurish and confused it doesn’t know what it is. It’s not a comedy, drama or anything in-between."	NEG
United States	Sara Stewart New York Post	"Heavy on quirk and light on wit. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
