Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Plot

Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) has always been the smartest man in the room...until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large-Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris)-and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder-a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by Professor Moriarty. The cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead of Holmes as he spins a web of death and destruction-all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history. -- (C) Warner Bros

The second installment in the Holmes series by Guy Ritchie, surely takes the franchise to a whole new level. Downey and Jude Law are at their very best, yet again and to top it off the direction has been superb as well. The only place where the movie falters is editing. It does get a bit draggy in the middle, but a brilliant climax makes up for it. Inspite of knowing the entire scrip, having read the Sherlock novels, this movie still keeps you at the edge of your seats at all time.
