Murder by Decree Ratings & Reviews
The Contending
Frank J. Avella
Plummer delivers an extraordinary performance here...His banter with Mason is the stuff of old married couple-dialogue.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
One of the best Holmes films that's been made.
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.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
A handsomely mounted thriller.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
One of the more imaginative Sherlock Holmes films.
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.
Lawrence Journal-World
Jon Niccum
A cool premise executed well
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Murder by Decree is spiffy entertainment for lovers of good mystery stories.
