Twisty and humorous with great performances from all the leads. Reeves shows he had more acting range than he was often allowed to show.

Sleuth already taught us that witty, contained crime movies featuring Michael Caine are usually good. Deathtrap is a great companion piece.

Almost like watching a stage play. Amazing cast. Twists and turns, plenty of surprises. A mesmerizing dark comedy.

Full of unpredictable twists and turns, which is quite fun! Has a theatrical vibe, which could be good or bad depending on your taste.

A great thriller that will definitely keep you guessing. It has a very theatrical feel which works well with the concept.

Equally dark as it is funny. A theatrical thriller with great performances from Michael Caine and the late Christopher Reeve.

Caine is marvelous, but the script tries just a little too hard to be clever. Entertaining regardless.

Really damn meta. James Bond for the theatre guy. Christopher’s real tall.

A witty and intelligent suspense film. Excellent acting, direction, and staging. Exceptional, but not perfect, has its flaws, like anything

Excellent mystery, best experienced with little prior knowledge.
