Carried by it’s impressive acting, Sleuth is a film I’ve anticipated for quite a while now. I’ve been searching for a clever battle of wits thriller, and this almost gets it right. It starts out relatively unpredictable, but by the time the investigator showed up I pretty much knew everything before it happened, with the exception of two details in the final minute of the film. It require attention, but it’s simple enough to figure out.

Odd in a whimsical, decidedly British sort of way. Great performances and an interesting set. Probably doesn't have a great deal of rewatch value.
