Sleuth

Sleuth

"Sleuth" is one of the most pedigreed films of the year, as its poster trumpets in huge letters: "Caine. Law. Branagh. Pinter." Kenneth Branagh, best known for his Shakespeare films, directs this new version of the cat-and-mouse game that was Joseph L. Mankiewicz's last film. Nobel Prize-winner playwright Harold Pinter wrote the new screenplay. Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier starred in the original. This time, Michael Caine takes on the Olivier role, while Jude Law plays a Caine role.
Andrew Wyke, an aging famous author who lives alone in a high-tech mansion, after his wife Maggie has left him for a younger man; and Milo Tindle, an aspiring actor, equipped with charm and wit. When Wyke invite Tindle to his mansion, Tindle seeks to convince the former into letting his wife go by signing the divorce paper. However, Wyke seems far more interested in playing mind games with his wife's new lover in seeking revenge on his unfaithful spouse.
