To be completely honest, this probably wasn't one of the best films i've ever seen but it is definitely worth a watch (mainly for the cinematic aspect). The cinematography was amazing, focusing mainly on slow motion shots (used to draw the viewer in, add tension and create more of a detailed effect of the events going on), it was honestly a great technique used well in this film. Another thing to add was the music, it fit incredibly well with the scenes, using intense pieces of music to add more tension into the action filled scenes. The color correction was also pretty good, focusing on more of a warmer look to the film itself (specifically in the highlights and midtones).
The story line was somewhat basic, being mainly about Sherlock's idea of solving a case and him going on to eventually solve it. It was pretty slow, however the action scenes gave the story line a boost and definitely added more tension overall. I wouldn't recommend this film to most people, but if you are into Sherlock Holmes and the genre of mystery it might be worth a watch. Apart from that, i didn't really enjoy this film and believe it is just another version of 'Sherlock Holmes', with a slightly over the top action sequence.
