Sleuth

Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier star in this 1972 suspense film from Joseph Mankiewicz.

A cat and mouse game between a man who loves games and his wife's lover. What does he know? How far is he willing to go in this battle of wits? Will it turn deadly?

Both actors are superb and the suspense builds nicely. Highly recommended.

Bunny Lake is Missing

1965 film directed by Otto Preminger and starring Laurence Olivier, Carol Lynley, and Keir Dullea.

Sometimes dreary, sometimes suspenseful look at an investigation into the disappearance of a child. The question eventuall becomes was there ever a child to begin with?

At times interesting going, other times it might drag on....but interesting and worth a look.

Thunderheart

1992 film directed by Michael Apted starring Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard, and Graham Greene.

Based on a true incident, the story of an FBI agent (Kilmer) sent to a Sioux reservation to solve a murder.

Reluctant to acknowledge his own Sioux heritage, Kilmer is forced to confront it during this probe into an activist's death. Dramatic, suspenseful, with touches of mysticism. Graham Greene (Dances With Wolves, Northern Exposure) shines as a tribal cop and Shepard is fine as always. But the real scene stealer is Ted Thin Elk as a shaman whose spirituality affects Kilmer's character in profound ways. Look for former presidentail candidate Fred Thompson as an FBI official.
