Very slick and violent remake

Rating: 5/10 (11 March 2010)

Downey is always going to be good, you can't fault the guy.
I was surprised by the amount of violence that is in this but when you refer to the book, Ol' Holmes had his fingers in just as many eyes as he clues.
Faultless period setting... I have never really gotten into Jude Law as an actor, his father was my headmaster at school and was a very dapper and nice man...
The supernatural suggestions throw this into a good direction and you can tell if the numbers are good that there will be a sequel in the offing... aside from that you can guess the villainy and clichés that abound in such a production, but its all fun isn't it!?
A good take on an old classic.
