Murder by Decree Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the more imaginative Sherlock Holmes films.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A handsomely mounted thriller.
Gone With The Twins
Mike Massie
The major flaw with the film is the pacing, which can't match the sharp, quick intellect of Holmes.
Lawrence Journal-World
Jon Niccum
A cool premise executed well
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
One of the best Holmes films that's been made.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A fond homage to the heyday of Hammer Studio, and a canny transmuting of Victorian Britannia to the tail end of the politicized '70s
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
May be my favorite Sherlock Holmes movie.

Mark Bourne
Plummer and Mason together make one of cinema's great -- certainly the most touching -- Holmes-Watson teams. Ripperologists will be pleased by how faithful the script is to historical incidents and persons involved.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Murder by Decree is spiffy entertainment for lovers of good mystery stories.
