Sleuth Ratings & Reviews
MSNBC
Alonso Duralde
Pinter's pauses, and the dour air of so much of the interplay, just don't fit on a story that's this slight.
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
Goofy art house tendencies (including an ill-thought dalliance with homo-eroticism) trigger a few giggles, yet the clever, crisply-acted power struggle seizes your attention
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Director Kenneth Branagh has mercifully pared the action down to 88 minutes (the first movie dragged on for 138), but the final act... still seems to go on forever.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
A film that's right up there with Crash, The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996), and the Kennedy White House for sheer wasted potential and misguided ambition.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
Director Kenneth Branagh clearly is having fun navigating Tim Harvey's slick set design, but eventually the characters' deadly competitiveness becomes tedious.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
This film wants only to entertain, and other talents have gathered with Pinter to help.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It sounds so promising. It plays so disappointing.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
We're left with two suitably hammy performances by Caine and Law, who do not forget they are actors playing actors, and a production design that must have kept the lighting people doing some ingenious plotting of their own.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Just terrible.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Expertly acted by the two leads and wildly entertaining for a about half the picture this new version goes wildly off the rails, the final thirty minutes or so implausibly executed it's just about enough to make a viewer's head spin.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Those who say they wouldn't mind watching Michael Caine and Jude Law recite the phone book may well have their patience tested by Sleuth.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
A grand exercise in watching two marvelous actors rip into some crackling dialogue. It's the thespian equivalent of jousting, and it's fascinating to watch.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Little more than a sleek, stylish stunt.
San Francisco Chronicle
Ruthe Stein
Shaffer, who adapted the 1972 version himself, surely would be less than thrilled by the post-modern, minimalist interpretation given to his best-known work, and understandably so.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Sleuth gradually becomes soulless and no fun, and what's the point of that?
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
In Sleuth what he [Kenneth Branagh] celebrates is perplexing, ominous, insinuating material in the hands of two skilled actors.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Sleuth finds Branagh and Pinter at their absolute worst.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Branagh, whose screen career with Shakespeare began on a high note with Henry V and has gone steadily downhill since, does a nice job keeping a stagebound piece relatively cinematic without resorting to the usual opening-up techniques.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
If you consider what the exalted quartet of Branagh, Pinter, Caine and Law might have done with the project, and what they did to it, Sleuth has to be the worst prestige movie of the year.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Tedious, pretentious, and ludicrous.
