Save your money for something good and enjoyable

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

This movie is not even good enough for a ten line review. All it is is a waste of time of a guy showing another guy that has slept with his wife to breaking into his house to steal something out of his safe but really making it look like he has a reason to shoot him and kill him.This is the worst kind of movie anyone could want to watch. Really, are there that many stupid people out there that like this stuff? Michael Caine, should be ashamed of doing this remake. Even if this is his kind of take of the original.These movies are boring as hell. I should of killed myself after watching this. That is how bad this thing is and I have to waste more time to just say how bad it is on this site.

A thoroughly enjoyable movie. As usual, Michael Caine clearly demonstrates his worthiness of his knighthood (not to mention nomination - sadly unsuccessful - for this part for the leading actor Oscar).However, much has already been written on IMDb about this excellent movie so I won't waste additional space by simply repeating it all again. My reason for this posting is to ask the question that is its title - Did anyone else notice... the mystic script in the flames? Let me explain. Whilst watching the DVD, I was interrupted by a telephone call and so I paused the film. As it happened, this occurred just as Michael Caine was walking past the gas heater-cum- decoration in his hi-tech home. When I returned to restart the film, I was immediately amazed to see that the flames, when frozen in stop- motion, appeared to spell out words. Had I not paused the film, I doubt very much whether I would have ever noticed this phenomenon. The words "Animation" and either "sublimation" or "substitution" seem to appear and disappear as the film is advanced frame-by-frame. Other words come and go and, whilst discernible, don't appear to spell out a specific sentence or phrase. Since first noticing this, I have examined each frame and am now left wondering if this is nothing more than a freak of nature or was it purposely digitally placed there by Kenneth Branagh and, if so, why... OR... am I hallucinating???The really weird thing is that, even though I have examined the film frame-by-frame, the message that I saw when returning from the phone hasn't been nearly as clear as it was then. This is spooky! So, I return to my original question, has anyone else noticed this and, if they have, can they explain it or, at least, throw more light on it? Someone PLEASE comment.

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.

This is a dark comedy-thriller, a remake of the 1972 film, based on a stage drama, here revisited by Harold Pinter. The plot moves around two characters: Andrew Wyke (interpreded by Micheal Caine), a millionaire egocentric novelist, who lives in an old mansion in the English countryside, turned into a high-tech "prison". One night he receives a visit from his wife's lover, Milo Tindle (interpreted by Jude Law), in search of his consent to the divorce. From the very first moment they meet, a mental, verbal and physical duel arises, in a kind of mouse and cat game, where roles interchange until the last act of the drama, which I will not reveal. Let's only say, we do not know if either of them really cares for this woman, only talked about but never visible, or if all this duel is only a matter of male superiority, the old and wealthy against the young and fascinating, an opposition of strong egos, in search for a final, definite self-determination. The movie has no flaws. The screenplay is acute and precise: let's not forget Harold Pinter modernized the original drama and filled it with sharp, minimal dialogues, where the most obvious word may carry subliminal meanings, capable of giving the right expression to the continuous intriguing trickery happening in this house. Direction is à la Kenneth Branagh, with his taste for the theatrical gesture which makes the viewer feel as a a theater spectator, and there are moments we have the impression of being in front of a stage. Acting is superb: I will not deny I'm a victim of Jude Law's amazing charm, here he takes the role played by Caine in the 1972 version, but objectively speaking, his interpretation here is brilliant to say the least, he is defiant, intense, shrewd, in the same way as Caine's interpretation sounds dry, biting, strong. It's a movie you may love or not, but you cannot deny its perfect execution, where every single detail is part of a thoroughly complete and well-built whole.
