    Luther is, for my money, one of the best things to come out of the UK, in a long time. I was therefore more than a little cynical, when I spied a film adaptation of the obsessively watchable, series. To be frank, the back story is absurdly far fetched but somehow it "works". In essence, I'd describe it as a pastiche, of borrowed elements, from the series, that have been thrown together, in an inexplicable, crime mash up. Its cause is helped in no small part, by Idris Elba, whose talent outshines and out paces, this flawed tale. Elba breathes life into a story, that might not have fared so well, with a lesser actor, in the lead. In summary, the creative part of my brain enjoyed this, whilst the rational part sat back and shook its head. Yes, its utter nonsense but its really "good" nonsense, nonetheless. Give it a go....

    Love the series, now I love the film. Took me way too long to get this watched, been on my immediate watchlist ever since its release well over a year ago; in fairness, I was avoiding Netflix due to their prices, but got a good deal with 'em atm. This is classed as a crime thriller and it certainly thrilled me, I had a great time with it. Really enjoyed seeing the story come together. Sometimes these sorta movies show 'the event' super early on and just drag out the cat and mouse 'when will they catch them' act for pretty much the whole run time. Now, don't get me wrong, of course it is a cat and mouse thing of sorts still, but I rate how there are events constantly throughout which keeps elevating the threat; the plot always felt fresh to me whilst viewing, which is a major plus. Given I'm a big fan of the television show that this follows, it is no surprise to say that Idris Elba is one of my favourite actors - the guy is phenomenal, I won't hear otherwise. He is fantastic all the way through 'Luther: The Fallen Sun'. Away from the lead, Andy Serkis is menacingly excellent, they sure made his character the worst of the worst! Cynthia Erivo and Dermot Crowley lead the rest very well. Give me that sequel!
