Review of Mr. Holmes (2015) by Jake A — 23 Jul 2016
While it doesn't have any thrills like the TV series this is a far more grounded and pleasant outing for Mr. Holmes and it works far more as a drama than a mystery. Ian McKellen is fantastic as Holmes and the rest of the cast support him marvelously, it also looks great, has a plot that may lack thrills but is still wholly engrossing and deals with subjects that the likes of the TV series can't match be it old age, becoming obsolete or suicide.
On the whole a solid and well made drama that just so happens to be centered around a past mystery in the life of Mr. Holmes.
