Distributor: Warner Brothers Pictures
Film Review by Kam Williams
Excellent (4 stars)
Once again, Guy Ritchie has served up a bombastic interpretation of Sherlock Holmes which will undoubtedly have Sir Arthur Conan Doyle purists squirming in their seats. That disclaimer notwithstanding, anyone open-minded enough to forgive the blasphemous action sequences is in for a cinematic treat every bit as cerebral as it is visually captivating.
Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Holmes and Dr.
Watson, respectively. And Jared Harris has joined the cast to play the
pair’s diabolical archenemy, the inscrutable Professor James Moriarty.
At the point of departure, we find Holmes in the midst of throwing a bawdy
bachelor party for his loyal sidekick who is set to marry a fetching lass
named Mary (Kelly Reilly) the very next morning. However, after the wedding,
the newlyweds’ travel plans go immediately courtesy of a comedy of errors in
which the bride is unceremoniously tossed off a train leaving her hubby and
Sherlock to share the honeymoon suite aboard the Trans Europe Express.
