SLEUTH
With
Michael
Caine,
Jude
Law,
Harold
Pinter,
Carmel
O'Sullivan,
Kenneth
Branagh
Written
by Harold
Pinter
based
on Anthony
Shaffer’s
play
Directed
by Kenneth
Branagh
The
original
1972
version
of this
movie
(based
on Anthony
Shaffer’s
play)
had
Laurence
Olivier
and
Michael
Caine
in the
lead
roles.
Where
Caine
played
the
younger
role
in the
first
movie,
here
he takes
the
older
one,
with
Jude
Law
in the
younger
charcater's
drawers.
This
version
was
written
by Harold
Pinter
and
has
a markedly
more
modern
take
on the
story,
especially
with
the
architecture,
art
and
technology
in the
home
of the
mystery
writer
who
meets
on is
home
turf
with
the
very
young
man
who
is involved
with
his
estranged
wife.
Will
he let
go?
Offer
the
young
man
a deal?
Or is
there
murder
on his
mind?
And
what
plans
does
his
junior
rival
have
in store?
The
small
cast
and
single
location
brings
out
that
theatre
feeling
and
the
two
British
acting
forces
from
two
generations
deliver
some
good
performances.
Extras
include
a making
of with
Kenneth
Branagh
at the
helm
of this
reinterpretation,
highlighting
the
look,
the
story
and
the
cast.
