Reviews
Total Film - This Sherlock Holmes refuses to take himself seriously. Brilliant, because it allows to RDJ and Ritchie to let rip with their non-traditionalist revamp. Not so great because super-sleuthing loses out to bone-crunching. Either way, the brio is infectious., Empire - A fun, action-packed reintroduction to Conan Doyle"s classic characters., The Times - Ritchie"s SHERLOCK HOLMES is a riot. The director takes on a British institution with a swagger and a wink and the result is boisterous and unabashed fun., New York Daily News - Downey has a winning take on Holmes: He"s always on., Daily Mirror - The movie is alive with cinematic magic, played out in an expertly-recreated capital full of grime, grubbiness and occasional grandeur., Daily Telegraph - The pace rarely slackens throughout, the set pieces are explosive, the score relentlessly thunderous. Victorian London is recreated [...] with an eye for the grimy reality., Premiere - It"s a blast from start to finish.

Additional Information
Arthur Conan Doyle"s famous super-sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, gets an update with this 2009 adaptation of Lionel Wigram"s comic book series by writer/director Guy Ritchie (ROCKNROLLA, SNATCH). The ever-charismatic Robert Downey Jr. (IRON MAN) portrays the titular detective as you"ve never seen him before; a swaggering, bare-knuckle fighting rogue, who exudes charm and quickfire witty one-liners, whilst hinting at the complexity of the troubled genius lurking beneath. Jude Law (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS) steps into the dapper shoes of Holmes" sidekick Dr. Watson, whose attitude to the world"s greatest detective ranges from bemused and exasperated to impressed and confounded. The chemistry between the lead actors never fails to dazzle, as they caper their way through a stunningly-rendered Victorian London.
We first come upon the duo as they close another successful case, which sees evil serial killer Lord Henry Blackwood (Mark Strong, ROCKNROLLA) executed for his crimes. But before his death by hanging, the bloodthirsty Lord warns Holmes that his murder spree is not yet over, and that the deaths of his next victims will have dire consequences for the entire world. So when their new nemesis mysterious returns from the grave, the detective and his stalwart companion Watson finds themselves following clues which lead them into a dark twisted world of black magic. Guy Richies" SHERLOCK HOLMES is a riotously fun experience; part mystery thriller, part comic adventure. With a stellar supporting cast including Rachel McAdams, Eddie Marsan, Geraldine James, Kelly Reilly and James Fox.
