Luther: The Fallen Sun

"This is an excellent psychological thriller and mystery with our favorite "the world is grey" DCI Luther. It involves a series of unusual crimes that all seem to point back to Luther's last big case. As you would expect, the crimes are chilling. (As a warning, ⚠️ there are also recordings of people crying out in pain during a crime replayed during the course of the film that may be a trigger to viewers.) As dark as this film is, I admired seeing Idris Elba return to a role that fits him like a hand to a glove. The suspense in this film feels real, and the emotions of the wily villain is played well by the actor. During the storyline, his true sadist motives are revealed."

"Didn't know this movie was based off a series before watching it. I thought it was okay though and picked up as the movie progressed."

"Excellent "

"I didn't know there was a TV series. But I thought this movie had great acting, and a compelling story with excellent execution. At first, I thought the whole 'Unorthodox-and-morally-grey detective' theme was going to be pretty predictable. But honestly this turned out to be a great pick overall."

"This was a great installment to the Luther franchise. It had all the darkness that I expected from a Luther film. Idris Elba was great. The storyline was very interesting although the other detectives working the case made some questionable decisions. I give it an A. I hope there's another one."

"Another great Luther endeavor. I fell in love with Idris Elba watching the original Luther series. My husband knows my love for Idris❤️. This movie had him doing what he does best…tracking down really, really bad guys against all odds. If you haven’t seen the show, it would help give this movie some context."

"I know this movie is absurd and cliche, but, I liked Idris’s performance… he’s a charismatic actor. Plus, some fun action sequences, as well as engaging interplay between a few of the characters, helped keep things moving. I can’t really recommend this… but, if you’re an Idris fan and set expectations to a minimum, you might enjoy it. "

"Good movie on its own. I haven't seen the show and could follow the storyline. Def felt like I was missing some context without the history of Luther and the killer's relationship but keeps your attention until the end."

"I really liked this one. I’m a fan of a crime drama and this one did not disappoint. I liked the overall concept and thought it was was executed. Lots of twists, and some very interesting scenes."

"For those of us that are fans of the show we have been waiting for this for a long time...and it mostly delivers. For those unfamiliar Idirs plays a detective who has a gift of understanding serial killers...however he brings them to justice and disregards the law. So ultimately he is a dirty cop but he's good...so there are layers to his character. Those familer with show might be a little disappointed...this story was way more over the top with alot of cliches...while the series was more grounded and character driven. Good first attempt and I am looking forward to the next one...."
