Review of Deathtrap (1982) by Brandon S — 29 Jan 2010

Deathtrap is a quality thriller directed by Sidney Lumet that is about a playwriter that is washed up but comes up with a plan with his wife that he will invite a young upcoming playwriter to his house to kill him and steal his play.

Micheal Caine is fantastic and the film does aslo include quite possibly the best role for Reeves. Of course like most thrillers the film is loaded with a bunch of plot twist, the only problem that I had with the film is that the story moves along a little too slow, either way it is still a minor classic among thrillers.
