Movie Reviews of Deathtrap
Movie Review: "Even a Gifted Director Couldn't hurt it."
Summary: 5 Stars
Deathtrap. It's funny. It's original. It's Timeless. It's flawless.
This rare gem of a movie stars the late Chrisopher Reeves and the highly talented Michael Caine.
The plot takes off as a writer's blocked playwright, Sidney Bruhl(Caine), picks up a script that was written by a former student of his. Mr. Clifford Anderson (Reeves) is an up and coming fresh writer who studies thrilelrs and idolizes Mr. Sidney Bruhl. The conflict takes place when Sidny, written out and strapped for cash, decides to call upon Mr. Clifford anderson for a cozy collaboration in order to give the script "DeathTrap" a tight editorial once-over. However, Sidny is jealous and greedy and has some plans of his own.
The dialogue in this movie, for an 80's movie, is really quite rich and momorable. The premise lends an ear to the atcual DEATHTRAP play which was written for the stage and performed on boradway. The reason for it's success is the twists and turns and comedic misfortunes of the characters intertwined in this "who done it?" movie.
I like the fact that even though 80% of the movie was filmed in one room it still gave the characters freedom to move around and establish theories and ideas.
Final Verdict: You know you wanna see it.
