A rule of thumb . . . always, always, always see anything written by Harold Pinter.One rarely expects such stable and innovative fare from a major Hollyweird studio, but Sony seems to have come through in spades with a big budget film that has the depth of a major indie.
Sleuth, written by the aforementioned Mr Pinter, plays as a lighthearted and dark dramatic comedy. (Yes, that dichotomy is intentional and accurate . . . trademark Pinter, in fact.) Should unpredictable plot twists, depth of character, and off-kilter perspectives be even remotely appealing to your intellect, Jude Law and Michael Caine should prove worthwhile in this particularly satisfying storytelling event.
Should you prefer not to think or enjoy your films, go back and watch The Game Plan again.
