Who knew Sherlock Holmes was an action star? I always pictured Holmes as a sort of snooty, but relaxed, older guy. good thing for “Sherlock Holmes” it wasn’t me behind the camera.

In a filthy, dank labyrinth of rooms below the streets of London’s East end, Sherlock Holmes was solving a case.
That is, Robert Downey Jr., playing Holmes in the film “Sherlock Holmes,” was engaged in hand-to-hand, foot-to-stomach combat with a very big and very bad villain (Robert Maillet). Bam! [...]
