Ian McKellen is outstanding as an aged Sherlock Holmes in this affecting mix of drama and mystery. Dissatisfied with his inaccurate public persona-a result of longtime partner Dr. Watson's embellishments-the 93-year-old detective struggles with his failing memory as he tries to piece together the details of the case that led to his retirement over 30 years earlier. Laura Linney, Milo Parker, Hiroyuki Sanada also star. 104 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles English, Spanish. Region Free
