Rarely has a movie with only three characters been so enthralling as SLEUTH, guided by the expert direction of Joseph L. Mankiewicz. Mystery writer and gamesman Andrew Wyke (Laurence Olivier) has found the next target for his mind games: Milo Tindal (Michael Caine), a nice young British hairdresser who is having an affair with Andrew's neglected wife, hoping to eventually marry her. Professing to want to release his wife to him, Andrew lures Milo to his country house to play a very nasty trick--but Andrew's trick comes back to haunt him. Featuring a revelation viewers will have to fight to hold back when recommending this mystery to friends, SLEUTH will greatly appeal to drawing-room murder fans, who will find the movie thrilling with its unexpected twists and turns. Both the unscrupulous and unremorseful Andrew and Milo, sweet but up to Andrew's challenge, shine in each other's company, shrugging off each wicked verbal barb before zinging back another. Both Caine and Olivier are brilliant in their roles... Minimize

Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "Sleuth" on DVD

by rabigjb,  Jun 25, 2002
Pros: Brilliant performances by Olivier and Caine, who engage in a deadly cat and mouse game.
Cons: Some grain in defects in the video transfer, likely from source material.
The Bottom Line: This is a highly recommended DVD. Go buy this one, you should be able to find it for less than $15 - and it is worthy of repeated viewings.

What if you threw a movie a no one came? Well, except two people.

by Vormancian, lead in Movies ,  May 9, 2001
Pros: Incredible acting. Fairly suspenseful. Often witty.
Cons: Have to suspend a lot of disbelief for Caine in cop costume.
The Bottom Line: The ultimate character interaction movie where nothing really happens except the two characters bouncing off each other. A must see movie.
