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.

吧啦吧啦就讲了一个多小时，编导你们真不困吗
看不下去了，实在太闷！电影一旦涉及政治话题总是无聊且冗长的，而我最讨厌的就是在电影里看到一群西装笔挺的官僚政客，他们就好像是一堆毫无情趣的工具，还没抽水马桶好用。
侧面反应了美国CIA情报组织内的牺牲品以及恐怖分子是如何成为恐怖分子的。
说不上好看也不难看的一般水平，开始以为是谍战片的爱情故事，和缓但是不慢，就是有点电视感。
分手的那一半很真实，代入感很强，我和男主的三观很像；重逢的那一段比较假，现实往往是遗憾的结局，哪有这么多的破镜重圆
就是转折再转折，最后告诉我，原来这个理由就背叛组织了？果然爱情会让拔刀速度更慢……
内鬼是自己，一切为了爱，拍得好墨迹，回忆太长能不能只讲重点真的是，男主蓝绿色的眼睛真美，女主好像西部世界那位妈妈桑噢，俩人没有cp感，这让故事的内核显得不成立。
以为是特工片，原来是爱情片；以为是紧张刺激的场面戏，却原来是悬疑的室内戏！
就是转折再转折，最后告诉我，原来这个理由就背叛组织了？果然爱情会让拔刀速度更慢……
这评论区中上评都要写的这么隐晦么？情节回顾加反复穿插，这种缝补的手法蛮像《看不见的客人》，整体挺好的。
不说本身就隔应这女的，单剧情转折来讲选这么个内外不沾的女主，一点信服力没有。
企业号船长和灭霸闺女相爱相杀的故事。最后孟菲斯号船长给了他们1人1颗小药丸，船长选了红的，闺女选了蓝的。
深爱的两个人，因为爱和保护，走上了两条不同的道路。
这也是一部嘚瑟剧本精巧结构的作品，前面交叉铺垫，后面反转再反转，呼唤下坚持全球化和世界大同，最后用个莎士比亚式的结尾，以爱情封缄。不是适合所有人，但你能看进去的还是能感受得出里面的好来！
无谍战无枪战无动作，只有爱情。
男主很帅over，激情戏妹妹突然戴上眼镜继续观影😅
各种让克里斯派恩蓝眼睛闪亮的阴影 但不是想看的动作型特工片 到一半直接拉到结尾了事
随着电影推进，往事历历在目
这个……漏洞好大的样子，办公室随便进的啊，监控也没有的？
永远的 Chris Pine, 当他那双天青色的眼睛穿透屏幕望向你时。。。什么都不重要了ヾ(^▽^*)))
