Robert Downey Jr stars as a buffed-up, bare-knuckle-fighting Sherlock in this all-new saga of the legendary detective from director Guy Ritchie.
With bulging muscles and impressive brawling skills - as well as his customary whip-smart intellect and razor-sharp wit - Baker Street detective Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr) is fighting fit for his latest case in Victorian London. Along with his loyal assistant Dr Watson (Jude Law), Holmes must bring to justice an enigmatic new nemesis, Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). The plot thickens with the appearance of Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams) - beautiful, elegant, and the only woman to ever get the better of Holmes. As Lord Blackwood puts his sinister plan into practice Holmes and Watson find themselves dodging fists, bullets and explosions while battling to unravel the mystery. Director Guy Ritchie comes up trumps with a revamped Sherlock Holmes poised to give 21st Century audiences a run for their money.
