It is sophisticated, smart, sharp as a Swiss mechanic. But it is a bit too much talkative and that may lead some audience to leave the show earlier than it should be. Shame on them. I am sure it could have been made for a stage play, and it is splendidly acted by Anthony Hopkins. He was a friend of Laurence Olivier, another famous Sir from the British stage ; so it could be here a kind of tribute to Laurence Olivier in this role for Hopkins. The latest would be perfect is a SLEUTH remake. The flaw here is the women's presence, I think it could have been better without them, or more precisely with less presence. It was a bit boring for me. Don't misunderstand me, I have nothing against women's stories, but this movie did not prepare me to that. Anyway this is a worth watching story, written and produced by COLUMBO screenwriters. A good reference.
