Title: A Pleasant Surprise
Product review: Being a devoted Jeremy Brett fan I was prepared to dislike this version of the famous story; imagine my surprise when I found myself enjoying the movie and finding it held my interest.This was the first time I had watched this version so I had no basis for comparison with the original BBC production. The fact of the matter was this version as presented here did a grand job of involving me and holding my attention all the way to the end.Both Richard Roxburgh as Holmes and Ian Hart as Watson bring conviction to their roles and provide characters with depth and interest. Richard Grant is suitably evil to successfully negotiate the role of Jack Stapleton so the three key roles are properly anchored.This one is definitely worth seeing; we found it to be worth our time.
