The movie was a great buddy flick. RDJ and Jude Law were very good with their dialogue. Rachel McAdams was fantastic as the criminal love-interest for RDJ that he couldn't outsmart. The set pieces for Victorian England were beautiful and were utilized for the movie instead of being just a backdrop. The story was a bit forgettable but the big reveal at the end I thought was ingenious. They did set up the sequel and it was a bit obvious if you are remotely familiar with the Sherlock Holmes mythology.
