Deathtrap (1982), Sidney Lumet, A Nov 3, 2005 | Jordan Hoffman's Movie Journal, Uncategorized | 0 | So clever, so funny, so unpredictable. I was surprised how much I remembered from when I was a kid. Also — surprised how good of an actor Christopher Reeve was. (And Dyan Cannon is a hoot, too.) Anyone who doesn’t love this movie is an idiot.
