Holmes & Watson (2018) is excrementary, my dear readers. #Review

The 1988 Michael Caine/ Ben Kingsley movie “Without A Clue” asked what would happen if Holmes was actually an idiot and Dr Watson was the genius but "Holmes & Watson" dares to ask what if they were both imbeciles, in a crass and witless farce? The answer is excrementary, my dear reader...

I had high hopes for it too and lord knows I’ve got a soft spot for many a ‘terrible’ comedy but this...this was just atrocious. ?

The week before Christmas I booked tickets to see this on 27th December, hoping for a nice bit of post Christmas comedy. When the reviews started pouring in on boxing day, similar to yours, I decided to cancel and settled for another night in, drinking and eating crap while watching Netflix.

Fairly polished but essentially ramshackle low-budget British sci-fi. Alien robots invade and order everyone to stay indoors in perpetuity (insert your own joke here). Plucky group of teenagers discover a flaw in the robots' control system and start to fight back.

An odd mixture, like something from the Children's Film Foundation mashed up with a British gangster movie and some Sci-Fi channel filler: tries hard to be all grown up and cool but is fundamentally too polite to really convince. Good special effects, but there's nothing noteworthy about that these days; what does lift the film into the realms of watchability is another of those Ben Kingsley - sorry, Sir Ben Kingsley - performances where he manages to find reality and pathos where it has no right to be. Gillian Anderson also performs to her usual high standards. Passes the time reasonably well, I suppose.
