The Netflix action movie 'Luther: The Fallen Sun' stars Idris Elba, Andy Serkis, Cynthia Erivo, Dermot Crowley. It's something of a James Bond copycat.
Whilst the series illustrated a similar tone to the movie, its balance of absurdity and sincerity was far steadier, making Netflix’s adaptation seems pretty misjudged in comparison. Indeed, Serkis’ villain is a gloriously immoral weasel, as well as an incredibly silly antagonist, but the level of his cartoon wickedness harkens back to the absurdity of Bond’s most eccentric adversaries, making for a gloriously thrilling watch. Without the dogged efforts of Luther to track him down, Robey enacts his disturbing plan, blackmailing a collection of victims to follow his every insidious word.

Idris Elba brings back his tortured, brooding detective John Luther in 'Luther: The Fallen Sun,' also starring Andy Serkis and Cynthia Erivo.
Luther: The Fallen Sun's Idris Elba revealed the biggest difference between playing his character in a TV show versus in a movie. The Luther star spoke to ...
Netflix's synopsis for the next chapter of Elba's character reads: "In Luther: The Fallen Sun — an epic continuation of the award-winning television saga reimagined for the film — a gruesome serial killer is terrorizing London while brilliant but disgraced detective John Luther (Idris Elba) sits behind bars. That allows for a little bit more of a peeling of the onion, so to speak." [revealed the biggest difference](https://comicbook.com/movies/news/luther-the-fallen-son-review-idris-elba-wild-action-thriller/) between playing his character in a TV show versus in a movie.
Idris Elba's John Luther finally has made it to the big screen. And sure, many — at least on these shores — will watch “Luther: The Fallen Sun” in their ...
Speaking of that backstory, it’s both surprising and a little disappointing that Ruth Wilson is nowhere to be seen as Alice Morgan, Luther’s enemy-turned-uneasy ally, after she resurfaced in the most recent series. For much of its two-hour-plus runtime, “The Fallen Sun” is an entertaining affair with high but reasonable stakes. As written, Robey starts out as somewhat believable, but, by the end, he’s ventured into a realm of behavior even the Joker may find off-putting. Helping him and Elba, also a producer on the film, accomplish that goal is director Jamie Payne, who helmed the aforementioned strong four-episode fifth series. However, more receptive to Luther’s requests for help from inside the police department is his old boss, Martin Schenk (Dermot Crowley), who returns to the office as a consultant after having retired. It soon is visited by Luther, and although he becomes determined to find a man who’s gone missing from the scene, Luther’s legal troubles catch up with him before he can do so.

I think he's so well known for this role, he's played John Luther for a fifth of his life. At the end of the day it's entertainment. All of this stuff just happens around us, and he capitalizes on it by watching people in their private moments. Let's have a debate about who this person is and what he is.” ANDY SERKIS: I nearly didn't do it for that reason. To play such a psychopath must have been fun, but how did you find your way in to justify his actions? Haunted by his failure to capture the cyber psychopath who now taunts him, Luther decides to break out and finish the job by any means necessary.
