With a rather poor run at Box office, Director Guy Ritchie Redeems himself with a not-so Faithful film adaption of the world's most famous detective. The film is set in nineteenth century London, filled to the brim with black magic, Underground boxing and murder. Sherlock Holmes (Downey. Jnr) is brought to life perfectly by the charismatic actor, Using his wit and charm to win you over. The detective is challenged with a rather tricky case, but always seems one step ahead. Ever aided by his faithful right-hand-man Watson (Law) – who is equally as good. He is ready to face whatever is thrown at him.

But not everything about this film is great. It's rather sloppy at points, scenes drag for far too long and a few pointless moments could have been cut from the final film. But don't get me wrong, it's good; the fresh new approach on the characters brings new life to the classic story. Guy Ritchie has set the stage for a re invention of a timeless character, Expect more to follow.
