Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
CSI in the 1800s wasn't as glamorous as today. Back then, all semen found at the crime scene had to be tested by the detective's own tongue.
Which explains why the Victorian era England depicted in this action movie only has one super sleuth.
Recovering a letter from a doctor murdered at the behest of Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris), investigator extraordinary Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and his steadfast sidekick Dr. Watson (Jude Law) follow the clues found in the correspondence to a fortune-teller (Noomi Rapace).
There, they learn that her brother, an anarchist, has been dispatching bombs throughout Paris as part of the professor's diabolical plot to profit off of a world war.
More focused than its predecessor, Game of Shadows highlights Holmes' humanity, while continuing on the tradition of slow-motion action sequences and homosexual overtones.
Besides, who would have a better eye for detail than a gay detective? (Green Light)
