His mind is as sharp as a razor, allows you to reset the pedestal anyone and gain the upper hand in the second ... at the premiere in the UK have welcomed the members of the London Society of Sherlock Holmes. From them, no one expected flattering assessments - this is a kind of fossil enthusiasts. However, fans of the hero Conan Doyle suddenly came to a complete delight. Writers still quite carefully treated to the original. In general, if I got a dollar every time someone came up to me saying, "I never thought that I might like, but - like", then I could pay for a drink each interviewer! ... "< br />
