Sleuth

What were the producers thinking? This must have been one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. Thankfully I watched it at home rather than go to a theater. I am certain I would have walked away if I... Full review

I really have no idea what this movie is trying to say. It started out very slow and then it got really really good. But then it hit a brick wall and kind of went down hill from there. I do... Full review

Well the most incredible thing is that they could get these actors to agree to be in this movie. The screenplay and the writing lack any kind of class, the plot is not even interesting, more than that it is disgusting.... Full review

The basic pproblem with this is that it was done before...to perfection I might add. There was no reason to remake this film. If they wanted to revive the play with Michael Caine and Jude Law they should have, but to... Full review

This is a very stylish remake of a classic. But it doesn't become clear why it needed to be remade. Then in the final act it is changed from the original, and certianly not improved. There is no reason to see... Full review

But this one rivals "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead!" Some of my favorite films come from across the pond, however this one was downright terrible. i realize it was adapted from a play, but come on. Did Michael Caine need a... Full review

HOW CAN YOU RATE THIS BAD!! ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR F@#( ING MINDS! This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time (and I watch a lot). The acting is insanely brilliant (Michael Caine is... Full review

What a mess of a movie. It started out great. Amazing camera shots, two wodenderful actors with witty dialogue, a beautiful set. Then it just dragged on. Even 88 minutes was too long for this mess. It could have been a... Full review

Expected alot more from a movie with Cain and Law in it. Lasted only 35 minutes and bail. (I was the only one in the theatre)....luckily, I was a t a cineplex and caught No Country For OLd Men a second... Full review

Annoying, lack of care about the characters, absurb close-ups, over-acting, over-direction.... Those are the good things I can say about this movie!... Full review

It's great Pinter comedy but it's distracting here.....What we're left with is a film both dazzlingly brilliant and incredibly irritating.....It has long been a yardstick for critical analysis to examine the manner in which a classic drama has been re-envisioned for a new age.....this doesn't confuse the drama -....Caine is now the legendary actor playing Olivier's part.... ... Full Review

Though Caine's charcter seems more sincere than sinister and far less eccentric, a strong script by Nobel laureate Harold Pinter still has him playing a wide range of moods and emotions, and stylish cinematography enhances the competition between the cuckold and the cheater. ... Full Review

And, amid the movie's many technologies of watching and acting, these tricks are surprisingly unsophisticated. The monitor distorts and also frames the action, the watchee is aware of the watcher, and the dynamic between the two is ever mediated by you, ultimate observer. ... Full Review

For all its flaws, "Sleuth" remains elegant and enigmatic....What this "Sleuth" lacks in enthusiasm it makes up in character-driven menace.....It's also a decent thriller, once you're able to shove memories of the original out of the way.....What makes "Sleuth" worth watching is the character work.....Pinter and Branagh take a quaint parlor mystery.... ... Full Review

Caine gives an amazing performance and there is one scene where hes as good as he has ever been. Meaner, leaner, darker and more vicious than the original, Sleuth is an impressive film that shows two film actors giving it their all. ... Full Review

Sleuth will always be the epitome of the mystery play for me. The first time I saw Sleuth on Broadway - which was also my first Broadway play during my first trip to New York City - it spoke to... ... Full Article

Sleuth still is a series of seductions and counter-seductions between two men angling to catch the other off guard. But Pinter has peeled off many of the superficial niceties, along with Wyke's self-referential preoccupation with game-playing; he ratchets up the... ... Full Article
