Movie Reviews of Deathtrap
Movie Review: An Excellent Movie from the Late Christopher Reeve
Summary: 5 Stars
As a big big fan of mysteries written, performed, and filmed, I would have to say that this is one of the best I've ever seen! The twists and turns of the plotting are so outrageous that you'll never see them coming, and having seen them once, you'll want to see them over and over again. Despite one rather disturbing kissing scene (you'll understand after watching), the movie should be considered to be one of the best of its genre ever filmed. I would also recommend Murder by Death, Clue, and Sleuth (also starring Michael Caine, though in a much different role) as potential accompanying material for the ultimate murder mystery/ comedy movie night. Sit back, watch & enjoy! Oh, and be sure you can trust whomever you're watching with ;)Movie Review: A WICKEDLY FUNNY WHO'LL-DO-IT.
Summary: 5 Stars
"What's the point of owning a mace, if you don't use it?" - playwright Sidney Bruhl (Michael Caine) in DEATHTRAP
...You'll stop laughing only long enough to gasp in surprise. The stars are terrific. The atmosphere is thick. The sets are marvelous. The score is wonderful and story is to die for!
The only thing missing is a special edition (that is anamorphic widescreen) with a running commentary from surviving director and stars - Lumet, Caine and Cannon.
DEATHTRAP, a wickedly, stylish, sneaky, cat-and-mouse movie, is a terrific companion piece for anyone who loved the "original version" of SLEUTH.
See it... applaud it... adore it! It is everything you heard and much more.
Movie Review: So much talent!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is uncanny how much talent went into this brilliant play converted to movie, from writer, director and actors! There was a twinge of heartbreak seeing Christopher Reeve, but I was thankful for the memory of him on film. The story has so many twists and turns, as well as humor, that it easily comes to life and blossoms into more than just entertainment. When an older, washed-up playwright meets a young writer looking for help to springboard his first play into glory, he doesn't realize that Sidney (played by Michael Caine) loves his play so much that the young man may not leave the cabin alive! Is a literary work worth dying for?

Movie Review: Not 'Sleuth', but damn good nonetheless
Summary: 5 Stars
10 years after 'Sleuth', Michael Caine did 'Deathtrap'. He now plays the role of the older, wiser man while Christopher Reeve takes on that of the young upstart. The plots differ somewhat and 'Sleuth' has a better script, but this movie is worthy of 4 and 1/2 to 5 stars though. 'Deathtrap' doesn't challenge the viewer as much as 'Sleuth'. Moreover, after repeated viewings, some of its luster fades. But, it's still funny, smart, filled with memorable lines, and leaves you guessing 'til the end. It blends comedy and drama/thriller quite smoothly and is definitely worth buying.Movie Review: Incredible.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a film that will make you feel like you are sitting in a theatre on Broadway. It's amazing. It's the best of Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve...and all the other actors involved. The story is so tongue in cheek...and you can't believe the discoveries you make as an observer along the way. It's frightening and enlightening all at the same time.
