A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.

浪费了一个惬意下午的103分钟，这种连电视剧都不如的东西为什么能/要拍出来？
结局略显潦草，但节奏还行，雷的人物塑造很man，知世故，坚信仰，善良比聪明难得多。前面的故事情节都不错，只是结尾太仓促，曾家老父亲莫名其妙为爱民党放弃保护儿子，曾老父不该那么容易被威胁，赵国柱也不该那么容易被买通而变节做污点证人，连点挣扎犹豫都没有，这么容易倒戈的人，也不知道这么多年怎么混的，早被砍无数次了吧？反正就是结尾让我失望，整体故事还算完整，故事性还行。
如果死者是个普通人家的女孩儿，故事就该是另一个走向了吧。
全片灌输了资本主义的缺陷：有钱能使鬼推磨。
从电影的角度来说，这个收尾真是很牵强，但同为父母，我倒是能理解这样的安排和表达。
拍的还行，但怎么说呢，我的理解就是，想要在这滔天权势下存活，还是得有钱才行，没钱还是申冤无门啊，所以整个故事还是有问题
律师良心发现，但是走犯法的路是不是值得推荐，这又是另一个故事。所有的证据都不是百分之一百正确的
但凡被殺的不是有錢人的女兒，律師口中的公平正義真相都會變成口嗨，這是一個以黑治黑的故事，不過是用律師當了槍手，用法律做了包裝。另外，很不喜歡這些男性主導的港片裡呈現的女性形象，純純的工具人，對劇情發展沒有半分推動意義，像是一個花瓶，只是用來生育。編劇不會寫可以不要寫，別老是用女性角色襯托男性的偉光正。
底色够灰暗控诉够愤怒，老戏骨们的表演很精彩，但主线实在是食之无味弃之可惜。陈家乐也是在警匪片犯罪片里被严重定型的演员之一啊
不完美的律政影片，因为重点既不是法庭本身，也不是警匪破案，反而多的是心路的纠葛和现实的无奈………
掲露香港几个问题：
剧情薄弱是真的
好久没看港片了，粤语听着真舒服…但是这剧情对不起这名字，还以为是控方证人类型的
浪费了一个惬意下午的103分钟，这种连电视剧都不如的东西为什么能/要拍出来？
好平庸的一个故事，称不上悬疑，更无从反转，雷状在小房间说的那一段主题升华在我看来是反向用力完全没踩到点上
表演方面无可挑剔，片子节奏也很紧凑，不过对最后的主题升华存疑，所谓法律面前人人平等的社会，感觉好像是最后正义战胜了权势，但实际上没有廖启智背后发力，收买黑警作证，这个案子是不可能反转的，而且方中信获取DNA的方式也太粗糙，不但有可能碰不上凶手刚好喝咖啡，而且方中信自己的指纹不也在咖啡杯上么？作为一个普通人，真要遇到顶罪的事情，首先遇不到这么坚持正义的律师，其次还要凶手不毁掉死者的手机电脑，普通人完全没可能战胜有钱人的，故而片子宣扬的法律面前人人平等根本站不住脚，影片后半段只是李毅峰在看守所中的幻想罢了。

失去一切的父亲谁都控不住呀！ 对有钱有势的杀人犯敲诈勒索，纯自找领盒饭呀！ 普通人泡妞有风险呀，哈哈哈哈！ 还好受害者也是富二代！ 标准港剧！
Nice！方中信化身正义律师，不畏强权，捍卫公理，最后的自辩部分很精彩。廖启智终于演了回首富，不再是微不足道的小跟班，气场不输曾江。
2021年了，我看到一部20年代的TVB。
