Sherlock: Case of Evil

Sherlock Case of Evil is a 2002 madefortelevision movie focusing on Sherlock Holmes James DArcy as a young adult in his late 20s. The story noticeably departs from the classic depiction, style and backstory of the original material.

Laura Fries of Variety wrote that DArcy makes a convincing Holmes and gives the character the passion and drive he needs for such intense devotion to crime solving, but also the emotional weaknesses that plague him. Fries added that, despite his questionable English accent, DOnofrio captures the massive ego and appetites of Moriarty and offers such an intimidating physical presence, and that special effects coordinator Daniel Parvulescu has fun on all accounts, creating realistic props as well as a rich, atmospheric London set.Anita Gates of The New York Times wrote Case of Evil is a competent, wellplotted mystery, and its awfully pretty, thanks to the production designer Chris Roope and the director of photography Lukas Strebel. ... The film has its tongue in its cheek a good bit of the time. At least the director, Graham Theakston, makes it seem tongue in cheek, going for just the right level of knowingness. ........
