The original film sleuth,which i have seen many times,is one of my favourite films.I have also seeen it performed on stage too. I cannot believe Mr caine thought this " remake" a good idea.He must just occasionally want easy money.
Shame on you michael!
I'm afraid I have to agree with you. Caine had wanted for several years to remake Sleuth, with himself in the Andrew character. There was talk that Christian Bale would play Milo, which may have been interesting, but I think the blame for this movie's failure isn't with Jude Law, though he doesn't seem to have enough grit in the last act to pull off what Caine did in the first film, but with director Kenneth Branagh. It seems as though Branagh felt the need to tinker with the film, in both the way it's shot, in the way the characters are presented, and especially the pacing. The film seems strange, obtuse, not tense and intriguing like the original.

this is a modern adaptation and you should cut the moaning , don't worry nobody cares about what you think !
shareRiiiight. People who make films don't care if audiences like them or not. Gotcha.
"I'll book you. I'll book you on something. I'll find something in the book to book you on."
there will always be haters and people who enjoy what they see ..you can't get to them all ... the people who made Sleuth didn't really care about what the audiences will say cause they already knew that most of us are dumb and only respond to a list of cliches when it comes to movies ..the masses like movies like the last x-man and captain america and planet of the apes thor and so on ..why should you even think about what the vast majority is gonna say when you want to make a movie and your not boiling your ass out to get the money ?
shareA modern adaptation but fell a lot short of the original.
Its that man again!!
Well, all I can say is the remake is shown on the television with the bad words cut out, and I have never saw the original. The original is PG and this one is R, but why would Michael Caine go from clean movie to profanity movie. I don't get how profanity makes it any better.
I am a gore watching freak!!!
If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.
It might not make it better but neither does it make it worse. Most people use profanity. It's a bit less realistic to have no characters use profane language in a film, not that it matters much.
The cold winds are rising. Winter is coming.
