If you see this movie without knowing any of its background, chances are, you'll be bored. This was a play adaptation and a remake, and its look and feel make it obvious with one setting and two actors. For a movie with only one setting, mostly indoors, it makes good use of a variety of artsy camera angles. There's plenty of dialogue that is witty and at times comic--especially if you're familiar with British humor. Some surprise moments also make you jump. I found it interesting, but definitely not a must-see. Those looking to see Jude Law in a role like "The Holiday" will be extremely disappointed. But considering that this is in limited release as of now, those who seek out "Sleuth" will know what they're getting into.

Outstanding performance by Jude Law. Great film!
