The Netflix sequel to the popular BBC series doesn't do anything new but it does it well.

Idris Elba as John Luther in"Luther: The Fallen Sun." Idris Elba returns as detective chief inspector John Luther in"Luther: The Fallen Sun," a thoroughly '90s crime thriller that couldn't be more '90s if it starred Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman.

Elba played Luther, the brilliant detective whose obsessive nature sometimes results in brute manifestations of violence, for five seasons over nine years on the BBC. Here he's back and tracking down a psycho who is cyberstalking victims online and blackmailing and killing them in the real world. Luther finds himself in a bit of hot water himself when he's jailed early on for occasionally coloring outside the lines of his professional code of ethics. Counter intelligence officer Odette Raine aims to keep him behind bars while Luther is trying to escape and bring David to justice, which is plenty of action to fill two hours and some change of runtime.
