On his sprawling country estate, an aging writer (Caine) matches wits with the struggling actor (Law) who has stolen his wife's hear t. From. Branaghs direction is suitably cool and sleek in the beginning, when the characters emotions are still in check and the oddness of Wykes gadget-filled world is still entertaining to behold.

About this product

Product Information

This savvy remake promises just as many twists and pitch-perfect performances as the 1972 film. Since the original SLEUTH still shocks, some might question director Kenneth Branagh's desire to remake the classic, but Michael Caine doesn't reprise his role from the first film. Instead, he stars as the betrayed husband (first played by Lawrence Olivier), while Jude Law plays Caine's original role of the rogue who stole his wife away. Nobel-Prize-winning playwright Harold Pinter provides the crackling dialogue this time around.
