Review of Sleuth (2007) by John M — 25 May 2012
Directed by Kenneth Branagh, starring Michael Caine and Jude Law, from a play by Harold Pinter: sounds like a good formula, doesn't it? Unfortunately nobody told Messrs Caine, Law and Branagh that they weren't doing a play! The whole movie feels like a play, and has this emptiness and pretentiousness to go with it.
The plot was OK, but not watertight. The suspense seemed lacking though. All the twists made you less surprised the next time something which should have been thrilling happened. Made the end an anti-climax.
