SYNOPSIS:

Both hold a meeting in the mansion of the first, which gives your opponent a studied plan to resolve their differences mutually benefit ...
OPINION:
masterpiece of the genre of suspense that united two heavyweights of interpretation as Olivier and Caine. His more than two hours is a memorable movie experience without the large mansion decorated the novelist played by Olivier. Structured like a play (in fact it was) Mankiewicz film masterfully directed as it may seem that abuse of the planes continued to figures and dolls from the house overloaded writer of mystery novels, let's get this feeling The main characters are observed and judged by non-living things that adorn the mansion.
Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier Oliver carry the weight of the film with ease and gives us two great performances. Anthony Shaffer's script is excellent with very good turns nut embedded within the story to make it credible. With a single stage, two actors, a theatrical setting with an air of novel abundant and magnificent detestivesca and dialogues are getting one of the masterpieces of mystery film. Recommended for anyone with two eyes in the face.
VALUATION:
"FOOTPRINT" (2007) Original title: "Sleuth" Duration: 86 minutes Genre: Suspense
OPINION:
Addressing the remake of a film is not not easy, especially if you're going to make a masterpiece of film history. If parts of it have all the papers take slaps everywhere. If things go well, one may ask whether it was necessary to do something he could not give more than they did in their day and if it goes wrong, as is the case, you seem to piss up a gem of cinema. I can understand the actors, Caine, who wanted to play the role of Olivier and Jude Law Michael to enjoy the role-candy. But when I thought Branagh's friend when he made this joke? Did you know in what had become Shaffer's script?
Wyker's mansion modernità becomes a cold house that have not has no furniture. With so in this film, the element of space is irrelevant because it has that gloomy atmosphere that accompanied the story so well in the Mankiewicz. The actors were so great in the 72, in this, Caine, let go and Law is painful, leaving an overacting, to laugh, cause you to Jim Carrey. Jude is going to clip a way that is not normal. Branagh had to be satisfied if you stopped the chavalote feet. The best thing is its duration, less than half an hour. So we suffer less. The two hours and a quarter of the first version was shortened so that the story, at times looks like as ridiculous and dialogues lack the wit of the first. Everything seems done with reluctance and procrastination is a shame. Comparisons can hurt, but it is much more.
