A game of wit and the wittier

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2012)

A certain Mr. Guy Ritchie has a flair and repute for producing pure gems dipped in English culture. This time he has exceeded his previous attempts by keeping the amount of the 'dip' to the just 'perfect level' with getting all the elements required to make an awesome and may be the perfect movie. Take a bow Mr. Ritchie!!! Excellent acting, perfect suspense(an integral part of Sherlock Holmes, traditional English dialogues filled with chivalry and sarcasm that make them so enjoyable, awesome action and maybe the best climax sequence for any movie of the 21st century till date make a game of shadows the perfect action comedy. the exotic sets and props bring the Victorian Era alive with all of its pomp and flair. Robert Downey Jr. continues from where he left and has excelled the previous one. Jude Law is always dependable and shares more screen space which was needed for a friend rather than a sidekick. The support cast,especially Paul Anderson as Sebastian Moran,is up to the job. But it is Jared Harris as Prof. James Moriarty who brings in the ruthlessness as the antagonist and his encounters with Sherlock,especially the climax,which lights up the movie. Even if you see it a number of times the entertainment value won't decrease a bit. Go grab a ticket and watch the movie ASAP, its just too good to miss.
