Sleuth

Michael Caine and Jude Law chew the scenery and ham it up in this remake. The dialogue sounds affected and stilted, perhaps intentionally so, but it’s annoying. Also, this new version tries to tack-on a different third act reveal, something to reward those who’ve seen the play or the old movie, but it’s cheap and hacky. Caine and Law both give it the ol’ college try, but it’s more like sitting through an acting class and less like watching an entertaining movie.
