MICHAEL CANE (MR. DESTINY, ON DEADLY GROUND) AND JUDE LAW (ALFIE, SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW) DECIDED TO DO GRAB LUNCH ONE DAY, AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. SLEUTH IS A TERRIBLE REMAKE REKINDLING THE STORY OF ANDREW WYKE AND MILO TINDLE. TWO MEN, SLEEPING WITH THE SAME WOMAN, WHO ENGAGE IN A DEADLY GAME OF "CAT & MOUSE" IN WYKE'S RIDICULOUS ENGLISH MANOR. I NEVER SAW THE ORIGINAL BUT APPARENTLY IT WAS QUITE THE TOAST OF THE TOWN IN 1972. HOWEVER, MOST PEOPLE IN '72 WERE TOASTING WITH 'LUDES SO THEY'RE OPINION IS ABOUT AS CREDIBLE AS THAT OF A STRAY CAT. THE FIRST HALF OF THIS FILM WAS ENTERTAINING AND ORIGINAL. THEN THE STRONG EROTIC UNDERTONES BETWEEN THE TWO MEN SURFACED. LEAVING THE AUDIENCE, ME, COMPLETELY BAFFLED AS TWO WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED. I STOPPED TRUSTING MICHAEL CAINE AFTER JAWS IV, SO I SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER THAN TO RENT THIS. THE $342,835 DOLLARS SLEUTH ACCUMULATED AT THE BOX OFFICE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANOTHER CLUE TELLING ME SOMETHING WENT VERY, VERY WRONG HERE. HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE NOT RENTED THIS AND NEVER WILL.
