Sleuth

A wonderful film in every aspect. Excellently written, superbly acted and remarkably paced, and filled with memorable scenes performed by all-time greats the late Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Michael Caine. A cat-and-mouse tale (no pun intended) battle of wits surrounding a devilish plan for incrimination so as to assuage ill-feelings and resentment towards the other. A great character study highlighting revenge as a means to an end, concluding with a wonderfully crafted ending.

Pretty much a documentary about Moe & Ethan Bradberry.

The first surprise was well done, but I couldn't enjoy the rest. With each plot shift, the trick was apparent about ten minutes too early.

Incredible writing - only 2 actors and 1 house, and yet a beautiful, complex plot is woven. Also very fine performances. Don't miss this one.

One of my favorite hidden films (i.e. a film you've never heard of), even if it's a bit of intellectual masturbation. Olivier and Caine are at the top of their game. A war of minds is the best way to describe this one. The script is smart too, as is the design, as is the music. And only two actors. Economical in all senses. The denouement is a little too much, but it's a fine example of the price one pays when emasculating another human being.
