Our review of Luther: The Fallen Sun.
! That's right, troubled former Detective Chief Inspector John Luther has been sent to prison, thanks to the machinations of billionaire serial killer David Robey . Left with little choice, Luther breaks out of prison to catch him, with or without the help of DCI Odette Raine , who as it turns out has a personal stake in the case. works best if you view it as a plus-sized episode of the long-running BBC series.
But now that you think about, John Luther really is kind of the British Batman: he's obsessive about bringing the bad guys to justice, he doesn't mind using illegal methods or violence to solve cases, and he refuses to kill suspects.The killer's Diabolical Scheme stretches credulity, another feature of the franchise, not a bug.
If your answer is,"Who cares?", then you're in the right mindset. More compelling is Elba's portrayal of Luther's continuing descent into darkness , Erivo giving it her all, and Serkis himself. MaybeElba has said he's likely done playing Luther in any more TV series, but would be open to more movie efforts.
