Watch Sleuth For Free

Very disappointing...

Good movie but grossly overrated

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This remake is nothing but a showcase for Kenneth Branagh's gigantic ego, namely, to him nothing is sacred. The original SLEUTH, written by Anthony Shaffer, directed by Jo Mankiewitz, with Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine was, as far as the art of cinema is concerned, "perfection", if such a notion can be defined. It was a masterpiece of a play, ingeniously adapted to the screen by its author, and directed with great elan by Jo Mankiewitz, coming to this two hander, fresh out of having directed Cleopatra. It is obvious that there is absolutely nothing sacred to Mr Kenneth Branagh when it comes to his gigantic ego, and he really does not care what he rapes, as long as he can put his own stamp on it: in this case, that of perfect mediocrity.

Maggie is married with Andrew, a rich writer that lives in an isolated and fancy house. But seems like the high age of her husband makes Maggie to cheat on him with another man much younger and attractive, Milo. He goes on day to his house in order to ask to grant the divorce so the young couple to advance in their relationship but Andrew is not quite ready to accept this request so propose Milo to steal Maggie's jewelry and make like an burglar enter his house and take them. But turns out that he was fooled and now must pray for his life. But what happens when a detective comes and ask Andrew about the disappearance of Milo? Will he get away with this of the game is still on but there can be only one winner. Who will win?Filmed in only one location the movie is quite good but still for some viewers might become boring at one point and the conclusion is revealed only at the end when there are only a couple of minutes. Arm yourself with patience of you want to resist until the end but in conclusion will worth it.

I hate when a poorly made new and unnecessary film re-make pushes a superior original into the shadows. The Olivier original is in the Amazon Top 250 Films of All-Time....and yet try to find a copy of it on DVD AT A REASONABLE PRICE. Hopefully, someone will at Amazon will realize that the DVD isn't priced correctly and then the demand will result in a re-release of this DVD! How do we get Amazon to revise their prices? I see this happens sometimes with books on Amazon, but this is the first DVD I've wanted that's been affected by these computer glitches. Is there a CONTACT AMAZON or a complaint center we can refer this to? Please advise them if you know how...Until then, I'll just be patiently waiting for the price to come down on the DVDs of the original version.

The movie Sleuth is an amazing movie that I enjoyed watching the whole way through. The suspense kept building, and the final result was not easy to determine. Kenneth Branagh directs an incredible mystery thriller that is very entertaining to watch, as the movie keeps your eyes on the screen at all times. The dialogue in this movie is so intriguing that having just two characters in one house the entire movie works out very well. And then, what really makes the movie is the incredible cast: Jude Law and Michael Caine. These two people are the centre of all the action in this movie. The talent portrayed by both of them is mind blowing. I especially loved Jude Law's performance as Tindle and the level of wit that he portrayed through his role. As usual, he delivers an amazing performance that was one of the best performances from a male actor that I have ever seen. Overall, two wonderful performances from Jude Law and Michael Caine that contributed to the amazing movie that this was.The script in this movie was also well-written, for the dialogue between the two characters was always full of wit and words that can keep an audience's eyes on the screen at all times. But of course, two incredible actors were needed in order to well-portray what the screenplay was about. A combination of screenplay, directing, and acting all contributed to making this movie the fantastic one that it was.I would recommend this movie to all viewers who enjoy mystery, wit, and suspense in films.
