“Red-Headed League”

Sherlock Holmes, in “The Red-Headed League”, was a bit surprising in that Homes actually asked for Watson to stay when he accidentally intruded when Holmes was in a conversation with a client. He wanted Watson’s advice with asking the client the information about the case. During the conversation it was very obvious that Holmes was clearly very smart as he did indeed point out Jabez Wilson’s social status and where he had been and where he had visited (Asia). He pointed out every emblem on the man’s body, it was very impressive. For Holmes, a man of great intelligence along with Watson, they were able to crack the case very quickly finding out that a member of the royal family had planned to rob a local bank through use of tunneling below it using Mr. Wilson’s shop. Wilson trusted his employee to watch the shop while he was distracted by a made up organization they had made that they called “The League of Red-Headed” men. Since I watched Robert Downey Jr. play as Sherlock Holmes it was not a surprise. Though John Watson played a role in the story he was more the less in Holmes’s shadow. The Narrative Watson had provided was very interesting, and somewhat surprising but sort of what I expected (minus Holmes asking for Watson’s advice).
