| Plot: | Milo Tindle, a struggling actor and a chauffeur, doesn't know what to expect when he comes to visit the rich and successful mystery novelist, Andrew Wyke. After all, he is stealing Andrew's wife. His first surprise is learning that the comfortable old English country house is, on the inside, cold and stark and filled with monitors, cameras and other surveillance devices. Its owner, Andrew, lays a thin sheen of civility over his malicious and insulting chatter, and then he gets down to business. That's Milo's second surprise. Andrew claims he wants to be rid of his now-detested wife. But if Andrew agrees to give his wife a divorce and hand her over to Milo, he expects something in return. Andrew has just made the first move in a game of cat and mouse that may prove deadly. |

Continuity: When Andrew and Milo are sitting at either end of the long table enjoying a drink, the position of the bottle changes. Continuity: When Andrew and Milo are in the guest bedroom and Maggie calls, the phone is not picked up and the illuminated blue display fades once the call ends. In the next shot, the display is illuminated again. Continuity: The jewels that Milo puts onto Andrew disappears after Milo tells Andrew that it is just a game. Continuity: In the scene where Andrew is explaining how Milo can break into the house, a security monitor shows the ladder against the side of the house. Moments earlier, the same ladder was shown to be on its side on the ground. Continuity: SPOILER: When "the detective" reveals himself, he is clearly shown removing, one after the other, his brown contact lenses. At the very beginning of the sequence, there is a prolonged close-up of Jude Law's face where he is clearly wearing only one brown contact. Immediately after this shot he removes the first contact, and only a few seconds later, the other. |
Quotes

[on Milo being an actor] Andrew Wyke: Why have I never heard of you? Milo Tindle: You will before long. Andrew Wyke: Really? Milo Tindle: In spades. Andrew Wyke: That sounds threatening. Milo Tindle: Does it? Andrew Wyke: Doesn't it? Andrew Wyke: I understand you're fucking my wife. Milo Tindle: That's right. Andrew Wyke: Right... Yes, right. So, we've cleared that up. Milo Tindle: We have. Andrew Wyke: I thought you might have denied it. Milo Tindle: Why would I deny it? Andrew Wyke: Well, she is my wife. Milo Tindle: Yes, but she's fucking me. Andrew Wyke: Oh, she's fucking you too, huh? Well, I'll be buggered. Ha ha. Sorry. Milo Tindle: Yes, it's mutual. Andrew Wyke: You take turns? Milo Tindle: We fuck each other. That's what people do. Andrew Wyke: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I follow. Andrew Wyke: In this day and age, is marriage absolutely necessary? Isn't it a bit old-hat? Milo Tindle: Maggie never told me you were... such a manipulator. She told me you were no good in bed, but she never told me you were such a manipulator. Andrew Wyke: She told you I was no good in bed? Milo Tindle: Oh, yes. Andrew Wyke: She was joking. I'm wonderful in bed. Milo Tindle: I must tell her. Milo Tindle: I'm so glad you like my mind. Not many people like my mind. Quite a few people like my body... but i can't think of anyone who likes my mind. Milo Tindle: What's it all about? Andrew Wyke: They're a funny lot, the Italians. Culture isn't really their thing. [last lines] Andrew Wyke: Goodbye, darling. [first lines] Andrew Wyke: Yes? Milo Tindle: Andrew Wyke? Andrew Wyke: That's right. Milo Tindle: I'm Milo Tindle. [repeated line] Andrew Wyke: I want to show you something. Andrew Wyke: A great branch broke off a big tree and - flew through the air, through the skylight - as you can see. Act of God. Detective Inspector Black: Had it in for you, did he? Andrew Wyke: Who? Detective Inspector Black: God. Andrew Wyke: Oh, yes, he's always been a vicious bastard. Andrew Wyke: You know what God's trouble is? Detective Inspector Black: What? Andrew Wyke: He has no father. He has no family roots. He's rootless. Nowhere to hang his hat, poor bugger. I pity him. Andrew Wyke: What sort of parts do you play? Milo Tindle: Killers, mostly. Sex maniacs, perverts. Andrew Wyke: So you're not well-known. Detective Inspector Black: No, I'm a common-or-garden copper. Just catch sex criminals, perverts. [sniff] Homicidal maniacs. Andrew Wyke: And what do you do with them when you catch them? Detective Inspector Black: I generally cut their balls off. [laugh] |
