In many ways, "Sherlock Holmes" is a breath of fresh air in a never-ending procession of bland cookie-cutter action and suspense thrillers. It dares to be different - maybe a little too different at times. Director Guy Ritchie really puts his mark on this one with dizzying camera work, a pounding score, and a blazing pace that jumps quickly from scene to scene, really impairing your ability to enjoy the great characters and sharp dialogue. The performances by the two leads, Robert Downey Jr. (quickly becoming one of my favorite actors) and Jude Law, were great. If not for Ritchie's heavy handed directing, this would've been much more enjoyable.
