Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Neil Smith (699) for BBC.com (1,500) on 23 Nov 2007

The movie never achieves anything like a life of its own…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 15 Nov 2007

While the cagey old pro does manage to hold our interest throughout, Law badly flounders in the sort of vehicle that seems tailor-made for him…

By M.e. Russell (113) for Oregonian (1,550) on 02 Nov 2007

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Terry Lawson (645) for Detroit Free Press (942) on 02 Nov 2007
