It contains all the elements from the original film...But that's the problem: It's virtually the same movie with new locations…

Perversely restrained given the subject matter, and huge props to Jodie Foster for her standout performance but ultimately a fairly uninspiring film…

Pretty poor excuse for a film, The lovely Emily Blunt tries her best to save it, but unfortunately she fails…

Sherlock Holmes fighting Nazis! Sound great! It's not…
