If Sherlock Holmes hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)

Common ground: murder
The difference: Leans harder into thriller than Sherlock Holmes does

Both land momentum and twists at once

Both are Guy Ritchie's work, and they rhyme
The difference: Trades the twists of Sherlock Holmes for an angle of its own

Both are built on the same subject: murder
The difference: Reviewed even better

One thread runs through both: detective
The difference: Easier on the momentum than Sherlock Holmes

Mystery with a pulse of grit, in both cases


Action built on grit, twice over

The same preoccupation in both: detective

Twisty mystery, and it commits to that

Both lean on grit more than on crime
