Finally, Rathbone laid to rest.....

Rating: 9/10 (17 January 2010)

It is rare...in fact possibly never that I have given a film such a high rating,but SH is most deserving of it and in the 3rd week of the new year I am doubting that there will be such a thrill of a movie yet to come along. Simply, the charisma of the two lead actors here, the way they squabble in their symbiotic relationship is cinematic gold. Guy Ritchie has done a grand job of elevating his career back on track, with his ex missus now out of the picture he can once again get back to something of his best.
Both Downey Jr and Law are on top form and are a delight to watch, the humour of the film is never far under the surface and there are plenty of light moments to keep even the most discerning of curmudgeons happy.
It's boy's own stuff, almost tongue in cheek yet never straying into parody, with plenty of action and Heath Robinsonisms to keep boys of a certain age purring with delight!
Wonderful film.
