Great buildup to the storyline. I feel this movie encapsulates two parts within itself and you can’t decide which one you like better.
Two giants of acting together in this puzzling piece. Watch this, ignore the reboot
From beginning to end, you will be gripped in the Machiavellian machinations of a mystery writer gone mad.
Clever play-like film is a battle of wits between Caine & Olivier. The actors leap off the screen. The constant developments are riveting.
Brilliant!!! Caine and Olivier at top level. You must watch!!!
Oliver and Caine bounce off each other so well. I can imagine people back in the day loved it whenever these two were in a film together.
Even if you can guess its trajectory, Sleuth is an expertly crafted thriller that operates as both camp and sincere
A witty duel of minds. It's amazing how a movie basically about two people talking can capture you.
Not as compelling as it should have been, as with this title it was a little bland & dry just 2B a duet story!
Some fun elements, it you like mysteries you’ll like it. Not very rewatchable and pretty slow too
