Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Sorry, folks,I can't agree with the majority vote. Although the final twist is ingenious, the getting there was, for me, unbearably heavy. Oh, to have to wade through the unending inanity-filled chatter of one of the hero's handymen! And the sound of leathery wings! Would you recognise one such if you heard it?

Think Sherlock Holmes hopped up on Red Bull meets Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde while riding a roller coaster. |
