Images of Robert Downey Jr. in 'Sherlock Holmes'

Bad guys going up against this Sherlock Holmes better not get caught because he may beat you down.

SlashFilm has the photographic skinny on this not-so-skinny Holmes played by the resurgent star Robert Downey Jr.

Director Guy Ritchie is at the helm of this new take on "Sherlock Holmes" and I hope the heat on Downey Jr. post "Iron Man" brings some back to Ritchie. The guy has terrific visual and editing skill and I am pulling for Holmes to work out.

I don't mind talking up Ritchie too much even if his film "RockNRolla" did not get a lot of love from the critics. Too many things can go wrong in making a movie sometimes and maybe this pairing is the right opportunity for Ritchie to get something back on track.
