Viewing Notes

Decided to revisit this one on the Sherlock Holmes blu-ray collection since it’s been over 10 years since I last viewed and saw that I enjoyed it. Definitely agree w/my original assessment. This is a very fun murder mystery on a train story. I love the train station set and the miniatures. Good story as well about a jewel heist but it all occurs during this trip on the train.
