Review of Deathtrap

Deathtrap (1982)
8/10
An upgraded Sleuth
18 January 2023
If you've ever watched the Movie Sleuth (or the play of it by Anthony Shaffer) then this is the upgraded version of it with all the same twists and turns.

Here however there are very clearly two acts to this play and the introduction of three additional characters (five in total) creates far more intercut dynamics and interactions between them.

There are however always two main characters in each act. In the first that's Sidney Bruhl (played by Michael Caine) & his ever screaming wife Myra (played by Dyan Cannon). To preserve the mystery I will not mention who are our mains for act 2.

Just remember, this is a movie about turnabouts. Nothing is as it first seems.
