Movie Reviews of Murder by Decree
Movie Review: A lot of fun
Summary: 4 Stars
A fun story and the best one involving Jack the Ripper. Plummer plays Holmes with aplomb and is more accessible and likeable than some other portrayals. Mason as Watson is, well, perfect.
Summary of Murder by Decree
The legendary sherlock holmes & his faithful assistant watson take on the horrific case of jack the ripper. But uncovering the truth turns out to be a nightmare of hidden agendas deadly conspiracies & blood-curdling murder. Studio: Starz/sphe Release Date: 09/07/2004 Starring: Christopher Plummer James MasonMurder by Decree has the distinction of being not only one of the best Sherlock Holmes films, but one of the best pastiches (i.e., a Holmes fiction created by someone other than author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) featuring the late-Victorian Era detective. Christopher Plummer is very good as Holmes, and James Mason redeems the many mishandled screen portrayals of Dr. John Watson with a rare, insightful performance. The story may not be unique in post-Doyle Holmes adventures--the private investigator pursues Jack the Ripper during the latter's reign of monstrous murders in foggy London--but the script by John Hopkins (Thunderball) is keenly intelligent, developing concentric circles of power and evil with great subtlety. Before losing himself in Porky's, director Bob Clark did a masterful job of surprising audiences with Murder by Decree, convincing viewers they were watching one kind of drama but then unleashing something very different, very unsettling. --Tom Keogh
