So, Sherlock Holmes in the 20th Century, directed by Igor Maslennikov, is an intriguing blend of adventure and mystery, set against a backdrop that feels both familiar and refreshingly different. It's fascinating how they've adapted the character to fit a more modern setting, but it kind of misses the mark by omitting the entire plot of 'Bruce-Partington Drawings.' That choice definitely alters the pacing, making the film feel a bit disjointed at times. However, the performances—especially from the leads—carry a certain charm and depth that keeps you engaged. The practical effects have that old-school vibe, lending an authenticity to the whole experience. It’s a unique entry in the Sherlock Holmes canon, showcasing the characters in a light that’s somewhat different from the typical Victorian interpretations.
