Not exact matches
And there's a hidden triumph in the

The
supporting characters, from Paul's brother Frank (Vincent D'Onofrio, «The Magnificent Seven») to the selection of bland bad

With a strong
Guy Pearce performance, and

as to
guy the whole notion of recreating Conan Doyle affectionately and respectfully.
She isn't great yet with
characters on the periphery — Bill is a one - dimensional corporate bad
guy / insensitive husband, and it's depressing to see the great Chloë Sevigny cast in a generic role
as Owen's mom — but Amos, Diane, and Owen are all vivid and credible enough to
support a less - hokey, more rough - hewn narrative.
George Stobbart is an excellent lead
