So she rumbles Holmes and takes off. Amazing. His plan was a long shot anyway and she was already paranoid because of so many attempts to steal the photo from her, so what's so extraordinary that she sussed him? It just doesn't work for me. The actress does a good job, but doesn't really live up to the voiceover telling us how stunningly beautiful she is either.
I reckon the Irene in Elementary was more impressive on all counts.  |
She was a bit useless wasn't she! The versions of her in Sherlock , the Guy Ritchie films and elementary where all superior in my eyes and all a lot prettier.
