Summary - OK 2.5
Sleuth is a movie that could easily have been performed on the radio, though I assume it was based on a stageplay. It basically involves two men, one of whom is having an affair with the other’s wife, being witty and sly and playing off each other for 90 minutes. I really enjoy that sort of dialogue, but when that’s the whole movie, it starts to wear thin after the first act.
Acting - Perfect 5.0
It’s a movie with only two actors, and they easily carry the whole movie. Really fantastic performances.
