While a little 2 smart for its own good, A Game of Shadows is an improvement on Ritchie's last effort. A fun take your mind off life film.

| synopsis | There is a new criminal mastermind at large--Professor Moriarty--and not only is he Holmes’ intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil and lack of conscience, may give him an advantage over the detective. When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade, points to suicide. But Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder that is only one piece of a more portentous puzzle designed by Moriarty. |
