Just imagine…
A maniac, almost
psychotic, self-absorbed, virtually psychologically disturbed, mostly stumped
and disheveled drug- enthusiast trying to avert a world-war! That’s London’s
best detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.)! Despite his unkempt looks
& befuddled expressions he has the ability to wonderfully blend impulse, intuition
& intelligence- a perfect concoction for a mystery-action-thriller addict!
Dr. Watson (Jude Law)
is Holmes’ sidekick. Watson’s Gentlemanly behavior & imperturbable outlook
is a perfect balk to Holmes’ coarse mannerisms. With bowler hat &
tailor-made suits Dr. Watson is a stunning contrast to Holmes’ penchant for “Fancy-Dressing!”
The two spectacular performances,
in their alternatively love-hate manner impart humor, goodwill & twists to
a film that would be incomplete without either!
Irene Adler (RachelMcAdams), as usual is sighted carrying a suspicious package to be delivered to
a man, who in turn gives a letter, which Sherlock manages to get his hands on.
This letter leads him to a gypsy fortune teller, but not before he ruins Watson’s
Bachelorette party! Nevertheless, Watson gets married. Holmes’ calculations on
the blasts & assassinations point straight towards Prof. Moriarty & their
bad equation leads to an end of Watson’s honeymoon even before it starts!
Moriarty is a worthy opponent to Holmes; he is sharp & shrewd; he is famous
& almost elusive; he knows how to play his cards well-but what secrets do
the cards hold for Sherlock Holmes?
What would happen if
one person wants to own both, the bombs & the bandages? Could a series of
blasts & assassinations lead to World-war? What is the possibility of a
peace summit culminating into a war? Can a game of chess determine the outcome
of the game of shadows? Will Holmes’ be able
to forestall a world-war?
With beautiful
photography of 19th century London, apt costumes, impeccable
performances & a great storyline, this movie surely qualifies as a Sunday
entertainer & a MUST WATCH! So, don't sit at your "Homes" go to a theatere to watch "Sherlock Holmes"!
