Very hammy and irritating - The Seven-Per-Cent Solution review by RD
We couldn't make it past the fist five minutes, the whole film was an awful tribute to over-acting. From Sherlock Holmes trying to act manic to Robert Duvall's overblown english accent, it all grated badly on the nerves. The dialogue revealed very little in the nature of a plot and just seemed to be there for ridiculous dramatic effect.
I can't see the rest of the film recovering from such a dire introduction.
Avoid.
