Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Fun and Exciting Action Take on Holmes
mitchellyoung - wrote on 11/02/12

Bringing his signature kinetic action directing style to a new universe, Guy Ritchie creates a film that shies away from the more philosophical elements of the Holmsian world in lieu of a slick and very entertaining action thriller. The pseudo-dystopian universe is beautifully realized and the action set pieces that frequently populate the film are a marvel to watch. Of course, the film's heart is a charming and lively portrayal by Robert Downey Jr. who hovers between the cockiness of Tony Stark and the wry sarcasm he displayed in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
