Sleuth (2007)

We watch a confrontation between a younger man (Jude Law as Milo Tindle) and an older man (Michael Caine as Andrew Wyke).  The issue is a woman, lover of Milo, and Wife of Andrew - but we never see her. 

The setting is a large old country house in England with a stunning, expensive, futuristic interior that in no way connects with the exterior.  One feature is a tiny, but very open lift which brings an element of claustraphobia to some of the scenes.

Sleuth began  as a stage play, and was made as a film in 1972 (with Michael Caine as the younger man then), so this 2007 film may be called a re-make.  But since the dialogue has been completely re-written by Harold Pinter, it is quite different.  

The writing is very clever.  You think you are getting a grasp on the plot when some lines suddenly make you doubt that you have it right.  In this way the story has surprising twists.  I found it engrossing, and recommend it.
