Review of Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) by Thug-Negus — 11 Mar 2023

Omg what have they done with our DCI Luther? It's true that over the years our good London cop with undeniable charisma was gradually crumbling, we felt the downward slope with a drop in speed for seasons 4 and 5. Nevertheless I was expecting a more or less correct sequel.

But it was a total disappointment, the film is as indigestible as useless. We have the frank impression that the actors are only there to get their fee and nothing else, it's an abysmal void, where is the script?

SPOILER ALERT :

After 5 minutes it's already going to hell, Idriss Elba, once resplendent, is only an illusion here, nothing is plausible and even less realistic, the guy escapes from prison by magic, beating up a dozen bullies in the process, He gets stabbed twice but gallops like an antelope, we say to ourselves that it was necessary to respect the specifications of Netflix and that it will work out, but it doesn't! The more we go on, the more we realize the mediocrity of the thing, worthy of a series like "Lupin". I'll spare you the rest, because nothing holds up, it's incoherence after incoherence, even Serkis is bad in his role of psychopath, and this grotesque hairstyle, we're talking about it...
