Movie description
In 1972, Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine starred in the screen adaptation of SLEUTH, based on Anthony Shaffer's Tony Award-winning play and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Olivier played Andrew Wyke, a droll old writer whose wife is having an affair with the young, ambitious Milo Tindle, played by Caine. Thirty-five years later, Caine is starring as Wyke in an updated version of SLEUTH, completely rewritten by Nobel Prizewinner Harold Pinter and directed by multiple Oscar nominee Kenneth Branagh. Jude Law, who played the Michael Caine role in the 2004 remake of ALFIE, now takes over as Tindle, a hairdresser-actor who has shown up at Wyke's estate to demand that Wyke divorce his wife so Tindle can marry her. But the extremely successful and wealthy Wyke is not about to give up his wife without a very determined and well-calculated battle of wits. Wyke lives by himself in a home that features dozens of electronic gadgets and odd contraptions, forcing Tindle to always be on the lookout for something strange to happen. The cat-and-mouse game continues as Tindle and Wyke play mind games with each other in a thrilling contest of one-upsmanship that soon involves a gun. Caine is marvelous as Wyke, strutting through his home with the absolute confidence that he will get the best of Tindle, but Law, who is also one of the film's producers, holds up his end of the drama, giving as good as he gets. Branagh keeps a steady hand as director, not allowing the camera to get in the way of the two dueling characters, but Tim Harvey's unusual production design nearly steals the show.

Editorial reviews
"The two actors don't just feast -- they tear and bite into the unctuous nastiness of their roles." -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (10/19/2007)

"[T]he verbal sparring is so sharp it's a wonder nobody loses an eye..."
Los Angeles Times - Carina Chocano (10/12/2007)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[SLEUTH] showcases two mesmerizing performances from Caine and Law....They obviously thoroughly enjoy playing this deliciously dramatic game of cat and mouse..."
Ultimate DVD - Nikki Baughan (05/01/2008)

ABOUT THE MOVIE: (“Sleuth”)  From the Liner Notes:

 

     “Directed by critically-acclaimed director Kenneth Branagh, Jude Law and two-time Oscar-winner Michael Caine join forces in this sharp-witted, modern adaptation of the 1972 Classic “SLEUTH.”

      “Locked in a high-tech English manor, bound in a deadly duel of wits, Andrew Wyke (Michael Caine) and Milo Tindle (Jude Law) come together as English gentlemen to discuss the matter of Wyke’s wife—the woman both are sleeping with.  But as wit becomes wicked and clever become cutthroat, Wyke and Tindle’s game of one-upmanship spirals out of control in an escalating chess match that can have only one outcome—murder!”
