Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Jude Law (Cold Mountain) take on the roles of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most famous sleuth and his stalwart partner Dr. Watson in this modern update from director Guy Richie (Snatch, RocknRolla). Downey’s Holmes is eccentric and brainy, but also brawny, while Law’s Watson is not bumbling, but witty and charming. Their nemesis is Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) who uses black magic to advance his nefarious intentions, upon which the fate of the world rests. This action-packed re-imagining is explosively fast-paced and innovative fun.
