Leave your thoughts about Sleuth.
| CinematicalJames RocchiSleuth isn't incendiary or ground-breaking; it's a chance to see two very good actors (who also happen to be movie stars) work with very good material under the direction of a very good director. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonThe movie never achieves anything like a life of its own. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesDirector Kenneth Branagh has mercifully pared the action down to 88 minutes (the first movie dragged on for 138), but the final act... still seems to go on forever. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerYou're in an ether between a stage play's suspension of disbelief and film realism. |
| The New RepublicStanley KauffmannThis film wants only to entertain, and other talents have gathered with Pinter to help. |
| OregonianM.E. RussellWhile [writer] Pinter contributes some venom-spitting new dialogue, he also deviates wildly from the original story in the third act -- which would be fine, if the deviations weren't less compelling and more abrupt than Shaffer's original ideas. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaA grand exercise in watching two marvelous actors rip into some crackling dialogue. It's the thespian equivalent of jousting, and it's fascinating to watch. |
| MTVKurt Loder...a picture whose modest length still manages to outlast our interest and then test our patience. |
| Sun Publications (Chicago, IL)Josh Larsen...like watching a pair of one-man shows face off against each other. |
| eFilmCritic.comPeter SobczynskiEven though it held no real surprises for me, I was still able to enjoy it simply for the spectacle of watching Caine and Law tearing into each other in the most nastily erudite manner possible. |
