London, 1901: Once again, Sherlock Holmes (Roger Moore) has smashed his arch-enemy Moriarty's (John Huston organisation. Only Moriarty himself manages to escape, but not before announcing the crime of the century that he'll commit, with Holmes being unable to do anything.

Soon afterwards, Holmes and Watson (Patrick Macnee) are summoned to New York by Holmes' one true love, actress Irene Adler (Charlotte Rampling), whose son (Geoffrey Moore), who might or might not be Holmes's offspring, has been kidnapped. Soon after learning that, Holmes receives a message from Moriarty that he is to refuse cooperation when the police approaches him otherwise the boy will be harmed. Soon after, the police approaches Holmes in a case bigger than anything he has ever worked on: Turns out the New York gold exchange has been robbed clean, entered via a tunnle digged from a subway construction site. Holmes refuses of course ...

Of course, Holmes doesn't really turn down the police, he merely has to free the boy without Moriarty knowing it - which he does thanks to a series of bizarre disguises and of course clever deduction -, then he dives into the case of the emptied gold exchange head-on, and eventually finds out it was never actually robbed at all, there was just a replica of the vault (without the gold) built directly above it, and the elevator to the vault was stopped prematurely. Knowing that, Holmes has Moriarty's gang rounded up, but Moriarty escapes, and once again he takes Irene Adler's son hostage. But Holmes fights it out with Moriarty and frees the boy, and ... Moriarty escapes!

 

Roger Moore as Sherlock Holmes?

Now this does sound like a terrible idea, and to this movie's defense, it is not as bad as the idea sounds - but it's not good either. Basically it's just a rather boring period crime thriller that really fucks up when it comes to its lead character, who is presented like something of a romantic hero here - which is kind of a gross misinterpretation of Holmes's relationship with Irene Adler as depicted by Arthur Conan Doyle. Add to this a plot that's far-fetched and lacks excitement, and a Doctor Watson that does not do justice to its actor's abilities and the most boring Irene Adler in movie history (not Charlotte Rampling's but the script's fault though), and you're left with precious little.

And a final word about Roger Moore as Sherlock Holmes: Well, he is not the most versatile actor, and Holmes as we know him/expect him to be is a bit out of his range, but he had to work with a very weak script, so he was never even given a chance to prove his doubters wrong, so bearing this in mind, his performance is almost decent. The film just isn't good!
