LutherTheFallenSun Review: Idris Elba Is Perfect In This Wild Thriller
Luther: The Fallen Sun, directed by Jamie Payne , is a great example of what television movies can be. Idris Elba’s seminal performance gets another chance to stretch its legs in this two-hour film. The ever-reliable Andy Serkis and Cynthia Erivo fill out the supporting cast to creator Neil Cross’ script. For better or worse, Luther: The Fallen Sun never tries to be anything the show was not, and at times its expanded budget takes away from the stellar cinematography the show is known for.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY When the deranged David Robey unleashes a string of complex murders on London, DCI John Luther is on the case again. But just as the investigation gets going, his past discretions are revealed to the public, and he is quickly arrested and replaced by Odette Raine . As Robey's attacks begin to outwit the police, Raine begins to understand that Luther could be helpful. Once he escapes prison, Luther is on a mission to avoid Raine and catch Robey.
Luther: The Fallen Sun is one of the better film adaptions of a television series one will ever see. Granted, that quality ranges from 2015’s Entourage to El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. Like video game adaptions, consolidating episodes into a single screenplay is no easy feat. While The Last Of Us is hoping to prove video game skeptics wrong, television adaptions are inherently different.
There is an almost Batman-like quality to Elba in Luther: The Fallen Sun, as he stands regally watching over London from an exposed rooftop. James Bond fans have always clamored for Elba to pick up the martini and be the next 007. Fans of Luther will feel like Q when he unveils the broke down Volvo in storage like it's an Aston Martin. The reality is that he has been the best of both on the BBC for years.
The layering Cross does with the story exemplifies this theme best when Dermot Crowley says, “The tragedy is that you are a better man than you ever allowed yourself to be.” Elba returning to his best role is music to any fan of television or film. The production value may have its ups and downs considering the creative team, but it’s all worth it to see Luther have his Daredevil hallway fight scene.
