Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

When Austria's crown prince is found dead, evidence seems to point to suicide. However, detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) deduces that the prince was murdered and that the crime is but a piece of a puzzle designed by an evil genius named Moriarty (Jared Harris). Holmes and his friend Dr. Watson (Jude Law), who are accompanied by a Gypsy (Noomi Rapace) whose life Holmes saved, chase Moriarty across Europe in the hope that they can thwart his plot before it can come to fruition.

Critic Reviews:

• " The production is still needlessly overlong and overblown, a far cry from your father's (or even your cousin's) conception of the master detective. But it's certainly lively and has clever moments that involve Holmes' keen powers of observation… " – Leonard Maltin

• " Downey's career is something of a game of shadows, but it's one still worth playing, for now. " – Adam Graham

• " Downey and Law remain this presumptive franchise's draw. " – Lisa Kennedy
