The discovery of a dead female staffer in a White House restroom galvanizes a D.C. homicide cop (Wesley Snipes), but the results aren't hard to predict: the crime implicates the Oval Office, the presidential bureaucracy impedes the investigation, and so on. What isn't so predictable is that the whole thing leads to an improbable climax involving secret tunnels created by Abraham Lincoln. (Snipes's character, by the way, is a Civil War buff.) The creaky mystery feels a little anachronistic from the get-go, with some particularly corny and laughable dialogue. The DVD release includes production notes, theatrical trailer, optional French soundtrack, optional French and Spanish subtitles, full-screen and widescreen presentation options, and Dolby sound. --Tom Keogh

 No. February 14, 2010
Willy D. Reviewer (San Francisco,CA)
The script is manifestly techically inaccurate. A D.C. cop cannot investigate a homicide on federal property. That is the job of the FBI, plus there are at least six more gross errors in this film. With the kind of money they spent making this film, you'd think they could hire some high school kid to google the facts and get them right.
By pass this DVD, unless you want to rent it just to see Diane Lane.
 Murder at 1600 January 4, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A Washington D.C. cop investigates a murder in the White House and draws the ire of the Secret Service when members of the First Family become suspects. This movie has an interesting twist. I enjoyed the movie.
 Murder at the White House is not what it appears October 22, 2009
Jim Gateley (Sunnyvale, CA)
3 of 5 stars for the drama movie Murder at 1600. A solid good movie richly photographed. The story opens with a murder in the White House. When the local police arrive the "coverup" starts. The local police detective is played by one of my favorite actors Wesley Snipes. As the investigation progresses, we start learning of missing information and false leads. On the surface, it looks like an odd murder; deeper we learn that it is a plot to ultimately force the president to resign. So the movie is interesting with several surprises and plot twists. My only complaint is that it is a long movie considering its contents. I could probably cut 30 minutes from it and make it move faster; each scene is about 10 seconds longer than it needs to be. Good direction, weak editing in post-production. OK, so I do like this movie and I do recommend it.
Can you say AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! October 17, 2009

It's a cop flick with WESLEY SNIPES, can it get any better! *sigh* Seriously though....normally i roll my eyes when I see that my mom got ANOTHER cop flick but when I watched this I realized that it wasn't just another cop flick, it was exciting, thrilling, and definitely #1 on my best cop flick list. I encourage you to if not buy this movie then at least watch it. You won't be disappointed! (WARNING: this is my opinion, this comment doesn't guarantee absolute satisfaction or any other such thing!)
