Guy Ritchie's newest film was a blast. Robert Downey, Jr. is cast masterfully as the prankish title character, partnered perfectly with Jude Law as the stern and stalwart Watson. The movie's script takes the buddy-action comedy to a new level, putting Holmes and Watson in a dysfunctional bromance. Downey and Law's chemistry is great which, combined with great action and a good mystery, make for an awesome film (with a great soundtrack by Hans Zimmer). Though neither Downey or Law (especially Law) don't conjure up traditional images of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, this is perhaps for the better, for a bold revision of a classic. Now, with the possibility of a sequel waiting on the horizon, it's no mystery that Robert Downey, Jr. will continue to make some serious money.
