From Netflix:
Aging detective writer Andrew Wyke (Michael Caine) squares off
against Milo Tindle (Jude Law), the struggling actor who stole Wyke’s
wife in this twisted — and twisty — plot of deception and double
crosses. Kenneth Branagh directs a gripping screenplay by Nobel
Prize laureate Harold Pinter, who stylishly updates the 1972
original — in which an Oscar-nominated Caine played the Milo
role opposite Laurence Olivier’s Andrew. Double feature anyone?
The movie feels like a play and is essentially talking heads. But what two heads !!!!!!! It is a pleasure to watch real time-honored acting. Michael Caine and Jude Law pair off in the most impressive performance I have seen in a long time.
Beware ! This is Harold Pinter and it doesn’t take long for things to get down and dirty. NOT FOR CHILDREN.
The plot twists are jolting. The ending is perfect. The updated 2007 setting works well.
Don’t miss it!
