I liked how during fight scenes it would slow down the action

RDJ's Holmes would narrate his attack plan, what he needed to accomplish with each shot to defeat his opponent. The action would then speed up to real time and he would stay with the voiceover, narrating each shot as it happened.

This was quite a brilliant approach to producing the hand-to-hand combat. I vaguely remember the days when I could slow down my opponents in sports and running and sometimes I can anticipate traffic during bicycling before cars even make their move. Great fighters and athletes do have the ability to remain calm under pressure and slow down the action around them, anticipate their opponents and attack to win. The fight scenes in Sherlock Holmes did this in a clever way that tied some form of Holmes' intellect to the action.
