Review of Sherlock Holmes (2011) by Joe Morgenstern for Wall Street Journal — 23 Dec 2009
The movie as a whole is clever, and conspicuously overwrought. But Mr. Downey's performance is elegantly wrought; he's as quick-witted as his legendary character, and blithely funny in the lovers' spats—all right, the mystery-lovers' spats—that Holmes keeps having with Jude Law's witty Dr.
Watson.
