Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick Dr. Watson join forces to outwit and bring down their fiercest adversary, Professor Moriarty.

Long synopsis:
Guy Ritchie's much anticipated sequel to Sherlock Holmes (2009), with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law reprising their roles.

The seemingly unconnected death of an Indian cotton tycoon, a Chinese opium trader and an American steel entrepreneur has gained global attention, along with bombings in Strasbourg and Vienna. Sherlock Holmes is the only man who identifies the linking cracks shaking the world, with the depraved Professor Moriarty (Fringe's Jared Harris) being at the epicentre.

The film also brings in Noomi Rapace (from the excellent Millennium trilogy) in her first English-speaking role, and Stephen Fry, playing Sherlock's older, peculiar brother, Mycroft.

"Jude Law and Robert Downey Jr. snipe at each other like a homoerotic odd couple, consummating their bromance through innuendo-laden banter and frantic shootouts. " - Jeff Meyers, Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
