A new refreshing look at the ageless figure of Sherlock Holmes

Rating: 8/10 (11 March 2020)

Do I like fast-paced and mischievous style of Guy Ritchie's films? Am I charmed and amazed by the incredible deduction of Sherlock Holmes? Well, yes and yes! Seeing these two names put together and on top of that reading the list of cast members made me lose all my calm and squeal as a piglet smelling a juicy carrot.
Right from the start mysterious villain calls out Robert Downey Jr. to prove his skills in acting, fighting and radiation of immediate charisma. Together with Jude Law they make an unbelievably good duo. Many times already we have seen a crime fighting couple that balances itself: crazy smart Holmes with precise and calculated Watson, but the manner they handle themselves is incredibly charming and the style is impeccable.
The plot stands out with its outstanding logic and moments of almost inhuman wit and fastness of thinking of Sherlock Holmes. Guy Ritchie's vision has helped us to admire the skills of unorthodox detective with far more drive than all the versions before. The nonlinearity of storyline keeps your mind working and the tension never drops to the point of boredom.
Don't get me started on the music. Hans Zimmer once again delivered the soundtrack that reflects the character and the events to the point where they merge into one, engulfing viewers and taking them away from reality right into the action.
Summing up the observations I would say that the movie is definitely worth your attention. Once seen the urge for an additional portion of non-trivial mystery with a high quality action.
