Deathtrap. 1982.
Play writer Sydney Bruhl's latest show becomes a flop and plots to kill a student writer and steal his work.
Michael Caine plays the play writer who gets the harsh criticism and decides to take a look at a student's work and along with his wife Dyan Cannon who seems to scream out at anything and everything to go along with it but seems to have a change of heart. Christopher Reeve plays the young writer looking for approval to his play Deathtrap. Based on the stage play by Ira Levin, this has some dark comedy added in with a twist and twist then a extra twist all the way to the end. Some bits may drag on a bit too long but this was enjoyable.
