Rating:  - A Search for Unearned Wealth
The film begins in 1856 India where the British troops are fighting in the India Mutiny. Indian Prince Achmed carries a strong box into the fort for safekeeping. He is betrayed by a sergeant, who later claims no knowledge of the Prince or his disappearance. Then we see Watson discussing Holmes' paper decades later. Miss Morstan visits Holmes to solve a problem. Her father, a retired army Captain, had disappeared six years earlier. But every year she received a valuable pearl in the mail. This year ... Read More
Rating:  - If only Sherlock Holmes had been played by a different actor...
Sir Arthur Conan Boyle's The Sign of Four is a great novel, though this televised version was a bit of a disappointment.
In this mystery Sherlock Holmes has his hands full with an unusual assassination (made possible by an exotic poison) and a mysterious disappearance.
The major setbacks (as other reviewers have also pointed out) are:
1) The poor choice of actor for the leading role of Sherlock Holmes in Matt Frewer; obnoxious, conceded, and overall not likeable, his was a ... Read More
Rating:  - astounding kid friendly Holmes adventure
I have never seen a Sherlock Holmes quite like this one! I had setled into my chair and prepared to take a long nap when BAM!
Matt Frewer's Sherlock Holmes grabbed me by the collar and took me along on an adventure! Mr Frewer is a 3-D Sherlock like no other! This may not be the truest version of the Sign of Four, but it is a vibrant adventure and Frewer's Holmes is so energetic he almost bounds off the screen. I shared this with my children and they adore Mr Frewer's performance. Try this one if ... Read More
Rating:  - Awful Acting and Change Done to the Climax Ruins Everything
The second installment of Sherlock Holmes series of "Hallmark Entertaiment" is worse than its preceding one, "The Hound of Baskervilles," or "the canine mystery" as this irritating Holmes of this series might quip. The Max ... no, Matt Frewer Holmes interpretation still looks unconvincing besides Jeremy Brett (though I do not say the latter is perfect), and in this film you are in for another atrocious deed done to the beloved original.
That is the script, which starts promisingly. As you ... Read More
Rating:  - Max Headroom's Folly
This production of " The Sign of the Four" is worse than the same team's "Hound of the Baskervilles." Two reasons: The obnoxious Matt Frewer has more screen time, and it's longer. The rest of the production closely follows the hideous blueprint of its predecessor. To begin with, the acting is atrocious. Aside from Frewer's horrendous performance (the less said about this, the better) we are treated to the worst Mary Morstan on film. This Canadian actress (her name is best forgotten) repeatedly drops ... Read More
