Olden Golden
Sleuth is an old movie, but when it comes to mystery, tension, twists and turns, there are very few that even come close to this one. It's one of those movies that you finish watching, then rewind to watch again, as you can't believe what you've just seen.
Its a clash of minds, a war of class, and a tortuous battle of plot and counterplot, that bewilders and bothers before reaching an incredible climax.
Michael Caine at the time the film was made wasn't seen on a par with Lawrence Olivier, but this movie took the critics by the neck, made them sit up and acknowledge that Caine was the equal, if not the superior actor.
If you haven't seen this classic, then you really have missed something.
