Title: Not quite the bottom of the barrel
Review: The best thing that can be said about this handsomely produced Sherlock Holmes imitation is that it isn't the worst that's come out lately. Not half as bad as, for instance, "Sherlock: Case of Evil" or the gawdawful adaptations of Doyle's stories with Matt Frewer as Holmes. But it's pretty bad. Emphasis (as has become a cliché) on Holmes's substance abuse, particularly in the beginning. But the most astonishingly bad thing about the story is a particular plot twist which, of course, I may not reveal, but which is one of those which no good writer would ever exploit as a surprise solution.
Is the review positive or negative?
