Young Sherlock is Nothing Like Guy Ritchie’s Movies (but That’s Somehow Not a Bad Thing) [Review]

Hero Fiennes Tiffin plays the 19-year-old Sherlock Holmes, a character notably without the iconic deer-stalker hat often associated with him (a detail even Ritchie skipped in his earlier film with Robert Downey Jr.). This Holmes is a rebellious youth, caught stealing, who’s offered a fresh start by his brother, Mycroft. Of course, things don’t stay peaceful for long, and he soon finds himself back in trouble with the law. While the story isn’t especially original, like most of Guy Ritchie’s films, it’s highly entertaining, and Young Sherlock certainly delivers on that front.
