Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law return as Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson as the notions of world war brews in Europe.  For Holmes, there are just too many coincidences about a number of highly publicized attacks and murders of key political figures. Putting the clues together and having to interrupt Watson's honeymoon, this detective duo takes you beyond London to Paris, Switzerland and Germany, taking in the assistance of gypsies, including that of Madame Simza played by Noomi Repace of Lisbeth Salander fame from Sweden.

Some great action sequences and effects as time slows and swirls for Sherlock and Watson battling a former British military officer with weapons of war not quite that common yet but impressive to some. A fun mix of elements as well as paint camouflage. If you liked the last one, you won't want to miss this return.

3.5/5
