Sleuth (2007)

i remember watching the 1972 original film, starring Sir Laurence Olivier as Andrew Wyke (the wealthy writer of detective novels) and Michael Caine as Milo Tindle (the hairdresser who becomes Andrew's wife's lover), several times on HBO at home. i didn't know what it was about, but i decided to watch it in its entirety. as it turns out, the film is one of the most brilliant thrillers ever on cinema.

finally, they've made an updated version of the film this year. this time around, Michael Caine will fill the shoes of Andrew Wyke and (surprise?) Jude Law is Milo Tindle. i suppose, Jude Law is this generation's Michael Caine?... the cast is made up of these 2 actors. anyway, watch the trailer: http://www.sleuthfilm.com

i hope i get to watch this soon and see if this measures up to the original.
