Product Information

Sidney Lumet faithfully adapts Ira Levin's witty play of intertwining intentions and duplicitous loyalties in his stinging thriller DEATHTRAP. Set in the glittering milieu of New York's Hamptons, the film stars Michael Caine as Sidney Bruhl, a washed-up writer of Broadway hit thrillers reeling from the unmitigated flop of his most recent play. Upon returning to his wife, Myra--a heart-murmur-afflicted, pill-popping, and incredibly wealthy hysterical played to great effect by Dyan Cannon--Sidney reveals that to add to his chagrin, a former student (Christopher Reeve) has sent him his brilliant first play, entitled DEATHTRAP. Much to his wife's dismay, Sidney concocts a mad scheme to lure the young playwright out to East Hampton and then promptly kill him in order to claim the play as his own. When the wheels of Sidney's plan are set in motion, the three characters launch into a tense, high-pitched game of double entendres, hidden intentions, and unexpected twists. The genre's typical propensity for reversals is magnified tenfold as DEATHTRAP begins to feed upon its own script, taking the characters on a blind ride through sheer suspense and manipulation. Caine, Cannon, and Reeve turn in bravado performances that inject the already taught script with fine-tuned tension and raise the viewer's suspension of disbelief to dizzying and hilarious heights.

  • Caine, Cannon, and Reeve well casted

    Humorous script, Well directed, Well acted. Dyan Cannon is a hoot. Christopher Reeve in a boyish role. Michael Caine great as always. Fun story.

  • I don't know why this movie was even made

    this movie is a bit bizarre. Caine's character is unredeemable. I did not make it past 30 minutes.

  • Sleuth remake 10 years later.

    It was like a remake of "Sleuth"; & really doesn't need the crassness of modern culture thrown in. But, it's somewhat engaging. The outcome is predictable, though. Missed Sir Laurence Olivier's acting in the 2nd version.
