Sleuth

2007 remake of the 1972 thriller, based on the Anthony Shaffer play, that starred Laurence Olivier and Michael Caine. In this version, directed by Kenneth Branagh and adapted by Harold Pinter, Caine takes the Olivier role as Andrew Wyke, a wealthy socialite who invites his wife's lover, former hairdresser Milo Tindle (Jude Law, in the role originally played by Caine) to his country home. He has a proposal for Tindle which could benefit them both, but not everything is as clear cut as it might seem. An intricate battle of wits with potentially deadly consequences ensues...
