Reel Talk:

Ok this was a very entertaining movie from beginning to end. The combination of Downey and Law was brilliant and I expect that there will be a sequel in the making. Downey continues to dazzle us with his performances, showing that he is truly a great actor who relishes his second (or is it his third chance) in Hollywood. If you have followed Guy Ritchie's work in previous films, you will appreciated it in Sherlock Holmes (the dark visual settings and the slow motion breakdowns), this is probably his best to date. This is the year's end blockbuster close out movie, so be sure to catch it.
