Luther: The Fallen Sun ~ Is It Any Good?

Luther: The Fallen Sun is a dark crime thriller movie. Inspired by the award-winning Luther TV series, it is a continuation and perhaps the full transition of Luther onto the big screen. As the police detective, John Luther (Idris Alba) tries to catch a psychopathic serial killer (Andy Serkis) while breaking all the rules of the law.

In other words, we can say that it is a continuation of the award-winning television series Luther (2010-2019) reimagined as a movie. And we believe that we might see Luther developing into a movie franchise.

Spoiler-Free Brief Review | Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023) Movie

The synopsis & the introduction

A cruel serial killer is terrorising London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther (Idris Elba) is in prison. He has promised to capture the psychopath (Andy Serkis), so Luther decides to break out of prison to stop him by any means necessary.

This story takes you to dark and sinister places. Thereby, this grim world is inhabited by self-driven cops and sadistic criminals. More specifically the dangerous world of Luther. This crime world inhabited by these people is a scary one. It is a dark and bleak tale of crime and criminals.

Strong antagonist but a stronger protagonist

During the police investigation, protagonist Detective Luther often crisscrosses the thin lines of morality and legality. And this is what makes him a smart but dangerous cop. Besides, Andy Sarkin has played the sinister role of antagonist David Robey with too much menace.

This movie lets you peek into the villainous realm of sin and depravity.

A couple of reasons to watch it

We recommend you – watch this gloomy crime drama for the following reasons.

1. If you are a fan of the brilliant and brooding persona of the police detective John Luther’s character in the Luther series, then watch it for him, only. Idris Alba has played the much-admired role of John Luther to perfection; he even received the Best Actor award from SAG and BET, while playing Luther’s character for the much-admired series.
2. Although this movie is not as good as the original series, still you can watch it, just to gain entry into the police world of Detective Luther. We believe this is the first movie about the detective Luther and we might see a few more of those.

The conclusion

Most of our team members started watching the original Luther TV series almost a decade ago. So, in the coming days, we plan to re-watch it. And share our views about the show too.

Meanwhile, go ahead and check the transition and development of “Luther” from the small screen to the proverbial big screen. His journey has been interesting and entertaining so far.
