Ultimately though, it’s the preposterous plot that lets this film down.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 11, 2024

Everything about Luther: The Fallen Sun is big. Even when it doesn’t need to be. Luther stands on top of buildings, smoldering at the London skyline. Why? Because James Bond did it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 3, 2024

Idris Elba once again proves that he doesn’t need to be James Bond when he’s John Luther, but the film seems more like yet another episode of the series that is scaled up for the big screen.

| Nov 16, 2023

Despite this film’s faults, there is enough to admire here to make longtime fans and newcomers wonder where Luther will turn up next.

| Aug 23, 2023

Fans of the show may find something more relatable to what makes this character unique apart from newcomers who may see little more than just another game-playing serial killer out for revenge.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 5, 2023

Luther really is the British Batman: he's obsessed with bringing the bad guys to justice, he doesn't mind using illegal methods/violence to solve cases, and he refuses to kill suspects. That last part is applicable to classic Batman, not Snyder Batman.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 2, 2023

Never feels like more than a two-part episode, and a derivative one at that.

| Original Score: B- | May 20, 2023

The film is accessible to those who haven't seen the series and Elba's formidable charisma makes it even more watchable. Andy Serkis makes for a sinister villain and Cynthia Erivo is terrific as Luther’s new ally.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 1, 2023

This venture into the John Luther universe will be enjoyed by both newcomers and longtime fans of the show.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 21, 2023

Idris Elba shines in the title character and continues to ooze charisma and charm with a hard and jaded edge. Andy Serkis is phenomenal as a villain and one who becomes a very formidable opponent for Luther… both physically and mentally.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 24, 2023

Elba brings precisely the sort of screen energy that made him appear too big for 온라인카지노추천 to begin with by continuing to play up Luther’s ability to use his wits to great effect, let alone handle himself in action.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 22, 2023

Idris Elba and Andy Serkis are at the top of their game.

| Mar 21, 2023

The movie doesn't evolve at any given moment and results in a commercial product decorated by the phrase: inspired by the 온라인카지노추천 series. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 20, 2023

I can watch and re-watch the first three series of Luther endlessly, but Fallen Sun is a fine reminder of why I stopped.

| Mar 20, 2023

A feature-length Luther chapter that is larger in scale than a regular episode but with the same darkness coursing through its veins.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2023

Luther: Fallen Sun is very gritty and definitely a Bad Things Happen in The Big City kind of movie. Lots of screaming, torture, shooting, and fighting, so if you don’t have the stomach for it, maybe hang back and catch a Murder She Wrote rerun.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2023

An arc fit for a Luther series has been compressed into a movie, but the story and characters have kept their flavour. Most importantly, Luther once more offers his pain for the salvation of others.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2023

With room for growth as a series, Luther: The Fallen Sun is a rewarding, exciting and brutal first foray for John Luther on a big canvas.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 13, 2023

A thriller that hooks you in its first hour, thanks to the cat-and-mouse chase between Elba and Serkis. Unfortunately, the film runs out of gas and ends up being a passable suspenseful pastime albeit inconsequential... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 13, 2023

In some ridiculous moments, Luther falls more into simplicity than into the night. But hey, most procedurals sin for being extravagant or absurd, and nobody goes around denouncing them. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2023
