The 2009 Sherlock Holmes film is an action/mystery film based on the books by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle In the Sherlock Holmes film, Robert Downey Junior brings the great detective a fresh breath of life and some what modernises the "Sherlock Holmes" that we all typically know and love. Jude Law stars as Watson, the trusted companion. Rachel McAdams stars as the only woman who has ever "bested" Holmes, Irene Adler, who has managed to maintain a "loving" and exceptionally long distance relationship with him.
This film was directed by the British film maker Guy Ritchie. He has also directed: RocknRolla, Revolver, Swept Away, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. He has also produced films, written screenplay and has participated in casting.
In this film the themes of voodoo and black magic are used to enhance the feeling of the era that it is set in as well as to enhance the already unique power of character Holmes has. It also shows us of the ignorance of things such as magic in those times and we see Holmes discover rational explanations for everything and wonder why others of that time could not see the same.
