I first remember seeing Ian McKellen in a Channel Four film called Walter that I think was shown the week the Channel started. He was brilliant in that and has been ever since. He has got lots of praise for his role as an aged Sherlock Holmes and quite rightly so . He is a magnificent actor and he owns the screen in this . The film itself is a little too gentle for my liking Not a great deal happens regarding the plot other than a slightly dull last case for Holmes but i suppose this is more of a character portrayal more than anything else. Child actor Milo Parker is very good too and looks like someone to keep an eye on in the future.
