Viewed July 29, 2021. This is basically a lot of narrative trickery and rug-pulling for 138 minutes. It works because each new "game" played by Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine is as loaded with emotion with the one before it; even as the viewer becomes primed to expect deceit, the leads' performances and Mankiewicz's direction somehow manage to erase that lingering doubt and get you as caught up in the scheme as the characters are.

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.
