Review: Guy Ritchie turns it up a notch after Rock'n'Rolla and is back to his best in this roller coaster ride of a film. Holmes and Watson are on the trail of Lord Blackwood, an aristocrat who practices black magic and is terrorising London with his actions. Throw in Irene Adler, an ex-lover...

Review: Thomas Jane plays "Malone", a gun for hire that is really hard to kill and who is on a mission to find out who is trying to set him up and get him killed. A neo-noir that follows the classic formula, femme fatale, big baddie, dark and vague past, and more twists than all of M. Night...
