Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 25 Oct 2007

Closed-circuit cameras and electronic gadgets are so much in abundance, bathed in the coldest of blue lights, it's as if Branagh chose to film…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 25 Oct 2007

Those who say they wouldn't mind watching Michael Caine and Jude Law recite the phone book may well have their patience tested by Sleuth…

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 25 Oct 2007

Sleuth remains an effective display of acting, with enough twists and turns to satisfy the newcomers and avoid insulting the faithful…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Randy Cordova (352) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 24 Oct 2007

A grand exercise in watching two marvelous actors rip into some crackling dialogue…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Michael Dequina (1,684) for TheMovieReport.com (1,582) on 18 Oct 2007

Ironically it's Branagh's relentless and painfully obvious attempts to keep the action visually 'interesting' that makes the proceedings come…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Cynthia Fuchs (1,328) for PopMatters (2,617) on 18 Oct 2007

And, amid the movie's many technologies of watching and acting, its gotcha tricks are surprisingly unsophisticated…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Bob Strauss (787) for Los Angeles Daily News (1,272) on 18 Oct 2007

This remake isn't as radical as last week's Heartbreak Kid redo. But it's similarly unsatisfying…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for Sun Publications (Chicago, IL) (630) on 18 Oct 2007

like watching a pair of one-man shows face off against each other…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 17 Oct 2007

Even though it held no real surprises for me, I was still able to enjoy it simply for the spectacle of watching Caine and Law tearing into…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Pete Hammond (936) for Maxim (189) on 11 Oct 2007

Both stars definitely deliver and the movie directed by Kenneth Branagh is handsome enough, but for some reason it just doesn't connect the dots…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for UGO (350) on 11 Oct 2007

One of the more entertaining films of the season, a tight, efficient thriller with two actors, a director, and a writer firing on all creative…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Kurt Loder (858) for MTV (492) on 10 Oct 2007

a picture whose modest length still manages to outlast our interest and then test our patience…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Armond White (604) for New York Press (561) on 09 Oct 2007

Kenneth Branagh's direction imitates De Palma's multi-angled voyeurism, but the trite visual tricks interrupt the clipped language and tense…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 05 Oct 2007

Directed by Branagh as a stylish, nasty tug of war. But it's also murky and overwrought…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 05 Oct 2007

By Cole Smithey (1,865) for ColeSmithey.com (1,853) on 03 Oct 2007

Michael Caine and Jude Law give inspired performances that make the most of Pinter's brilliant and pithy dialogue…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Pam Grady (384) for Reel.com (1,232) on 27 Sep 2007

Sleuth is worth the price of admission just to watch the old pro Caine put Law through his paces…

Review of Sleuth (2007)

By Jon Popick (633) for Planet Sick-Boy (616) on 14 Sep 2007

Fans of the original, or even people who saw the original and said, 'Meh,' will likely be angered by this update --- especially the end, or…

Review of Sleuth (2007)
