In
London, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his partner Dr. John
Watson (Jude Law) captures the follower of black magic and serial killer
Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong) that has already killed five women when he
is near to kill his sixth victim. Blackwood is sentenced to be strung
up and Dr. Watson attests his death. However, Blackwood mysteriously
returns from the afterlife and Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan) summons
Sherlock Holmes to help the Scotland Yard in the investigation.
Meanwhile Dr. Watson intends to get married of the gorgeous Mary Morstan
(Kelly Reilly) while Sherlock is visited by his former lover Irene
Adler (Rachel McAdams) that has a secret agenda.
This unconventional Sherlock Holmes story is an entertaining adventure by Guy Ritchie. The hero is very different from the traditional and austere Sherlock Holmes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Therefore, the story could be from two detectives ahead of time living in London in the end of the Nineteenth Century instead. The purist fans of Sherlock Holmes will certainly hate the heresy of Guy Ritchie. For those that just expect a funny entertainment, this film is pleasant.
