Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)

Great fun

[8/10 · 21 March 2023]

Really love Love Luther, don't think I've ever disliked an episode. Was so looking forward to this feature length film and I wasn't disappointed. It's large, loud and over the top and a rollercoaster ride from the beginning.

Idris IS Luther, he could play him in his sleep. Possibly my favourite TV character of all time.

Andy is hilariously OTT whilst believably evil.

The only complaint I have is I think the story would have made a great 3 or 4 part series just to learn more about the new featured characters.

Overall well worth a watch if you like to be entertained, it won't change your life but it's great fun.

I Came By (2022)

Not a great start but gets better

[6/10 · 1 September 2022]

The start of the film was slow and although George Mackay did his best, he's a good actor, his character lacks depth and so isn't hugely likeable. Hugh Bonneville makes an excellent villain as to be expected. When the film gets going the 'jumps' work well and suspenseful moments are just that. I for one enjoyed the ending, it doesn't need explanation, just a little imagination. The script was not the best. When the police woman asks Percelle Ascott's character when he last saw Toby he says 'months ago' - what does that mean? 2months? 11?? The police never ask him to be more specific..really bugged me! Some of the direction is lazy or the director thinks we are stupid (there was no need to fixate on the road name sign when we already know what the house looks like and where we are). Weirdly though time moves very quickly in this film, yet there are no landmarks, ie a Christmas or maybe Toby's birthday. When you assume it's the next day it's actually 2 months later, which is weird. Overall once it gets going it's an enjoyable watch.
