Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon
Directed by Roy William Neill
- Zokkiie4 January 2026A fun little wartime mystery with Holmes feeling a bit more like a spy than a detective this time around. The plot moves quickly and has some neat twists, even if it’s not especially deep or memorable. Basil Rathbone is solid as always, and the whole thing has a cozy, old-movie charm. Not one of the best, but an easy, enjoyable watch when you want something
