It came out in 2002 and the only feature of note is that Vincent D'Onofrio plays Professor Moriarty. D'onofrio, of course, plays Detective Goren on Law & Order: Criminal Intent who is based on Sherlock Holmes.
This movie suffers from the worst kind of adaptation; taking the names and some traits but betraying the heart and soul of the source material. James D'arcy is terrible as Sherlock Holmes.
This Made-for-TV movie is available on Netflix and features a 20-something year old Holmes who kills Moriarty in the first 10 minutes. Since the police have been searching for the Professor for sometime this makes Sherlock a celebrity (newspaper headline: Sherlock Holmes Kills Professor Moriarty) and his fledgling detective agency gets a boost.
Ugh. Anyway, this movie is terrible.
