Sherlock Holmes

[12a]

United States 2009, 129 mins
Director: Guy Ritchie

Synopsis

Arthur Conan Doyle's super-sleuth gets a fresh and edgy update with this dynamic adaptation of Lionel Wigram's comic book series by writer/director Guy Ritchie (SNATCH, LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS).

Robert Downey Jr stars as the razor-sharp, dry, knuckle-fighting Sherlock Holmes alongside Jude Law as his formidable ally, Dr Watson.

In this action-adventure-mystery set in Victorian London, Holmes must battle as never before to bring down a new adversary, Lord Blackwood (Strong), and thwart a deadly plot that could ruin the country.

McAdams plays Irene Alder, the only woman ever to have bested Holmes and with whom he has a tempestuous relationship even as he pits wits against his nemesis..
