I received Sleuth from Netflix last week and put off watching it until last night. I didn't know how I was going to like 96 minutes of Michael Caine and Jude Law paying cat and mouse alone on screen, with a little homo-eroticism thrown in for good measure.
I actually liked it pretty well. The acting and writing is great and the tension (both sexual and sinister) between Law and Caine is believable and compelling. I don't remember much about the 1972 version of the film, in which Michael Caine played the part that Jude Law plays in this version, to compare the two. Both films are based on the Tony Award winning play by the same title.
I'd give the film a B+.
