Sherlock Holmes-Game of Shadows (2011)

Editor's Note Brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) matches wits with the nefarious Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) after uncovering a diabolical plot to destabilize the entire Western world in this sequel from director Guy Ritchie. A criminal mastermind without a conscience, Professor Moriarty is Holmes' worst nightmare -- a man who uses his incredible intellect for unspeakably evil purposes. When the Crown Prince of Austria dies and Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan) rules the death a suicide, Holmes steps back to see the big picture. But little does Holmes realize that Professor Moriarty is about to commit a crime that will shock the entire world, and that solving it may be the death of him. Jude Law returns as Holmes' faithful sidekick Dr. Watson in a sequel also featuring THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO's Noomi Rapace and Rachel McAdams.

Chicago Sun-Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "It's Downey's movie. With his cool, flippant manner, his Holmes stands apart from the danger, thinking it through visually before performing it, remaining insouciant in the face of calamity." 12/14/2011

Los Angeles Times
"Law's down-to-earth and slightly fussy Watson proves once again to be the right counterweight to Downey's flighty, fidgety, flinty Holmes....Downey has made this sly sardonic Sherlock stylistically all his own." 12/16/2011

Movieline
"The play between wild-eyed Downey and the serenely unsettling Harris crackles with a chemistry befitting Doyle?s iconic literary nemeses as Moriarty stays coolly one step ahead of our hero..." 12/15/2011

Entertainment Weekly
"Director Guy Ritchie loves whooshy, rapid-fire speed shifts, and uses them for hypnotic sequences..." 01/06/2012
