tangreat-bk An Entertaining murder mystery that perhaps stretches it's gimmick a tad bit too long.Let's get this out of the way. The performance are fantastic. It's the verbal sparring between them that provides the movie's bread and butter. It's a treat to watch such immensely talented actors go at one another. It's worth watching the movie for them alone. While the movie is largely shot in one house you would be hard pressed to want a change of scenery. It's basically a two man show aside from the entry of one other actor. And it would be hard to lose one's attention from the witty banter between the leads.Sleuth starts with a simple premise that slowly grows more complex. There are joys to be found in the twists and turns of the plot. And even if the last act feels like a little long it's still intellectual enough to keep us invested. Guys like me who have grown up with detective stories will find a lot to enjoy in this. Why don't they more movies like this?Highly recommended. Had a great time.

Hitchcoc Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier together. Need I say more. This, of course, was based on an incredibly successful stage play. It involves more twists and turns than can be mentioned here. The cool thing is that there is gamesmanship at every turn, and these two wonderful British talents don't disappoint. It involves a plot to get rid of a extravagant woman through manipulation. The kicker is that the two principles are both masters at solving problems, using creative solutions. They are equals and that's where the fun comes in. I have always loved it when a mystery film has enough complexity to have me fooled. Being a suspicious viewer, I really watch for nuances in these films, but this time they got by me. One of the best films of the Seventies.

Thanos Karagioras "Sleuth" is a mystery movie in which we watch a man who invites his wife's lover to his house. There he sets up many kinds of games as he is a fan of games and a lover of films. Although these games are a bit different than usual and everyone has to be very careful with these because otherwise can have bad results.When I saw this movie I did not really have much expectations from this movie but I have to say that this movie surprised me in a good way. I liked this movie because of the plot which I believe it was very good and had many swifts. That was something that kept me in tense in the whole film. I also have to say that the interpretation of Michael Caine who played as Milo Tindle was really good and equally good was the interpretation of Laurence Olivier who played as Andrew Wyke.Finally I believe that "Sleuth" is a really different movie than those movies that everyone has watched because it combines very well mystery with thriller and these two with plenty of swifts. That's something that makes this movie special and unique, that was the most important reason why I liked this movie and also because I could not imagine or expect what will happen next.

gavin6942 A man who loves games and theater (Larry Olivier) invites his wife's lover (Michael Caine) to meet him, setting up a battle of wits with potentially deadly results.As far as detective stories go, this may be the best ever put to film. And the cast is incredible. With all due respect to Olivier, Michael Caine steals the show and gives a performance unlike we have ever seen from him. Although he is never a bad actor, it is rare that he excels on quite this level.Although not the primary plot, class conflict is also raised between Wyke, the long-established English country gentleman, compared to Tindle, the son of an Italian immigrant from the working-class streets of London. This is an interesting subplot, because it makes one wonder: is Wyke upset that his wife is having an affair, or more upset that she is with someone he sees as beneath her?
