John Luther (2022)
4/10
Awfully weak ending
31 August 2022
Jayasurya puts in an above average performance as a police officer. While the movie starts off on a really good pace, it's let down by a terribly weak ending. Good heroes deserve equally good villain characters to face off against. While the twists aren't predictable, they aren't gripping either. Be prepared to be disappointed by the last 15 minutes.

Cinematography and lighting deserves a lot of appreciation for the way the scenes across the whole movie are picturised. You're transported right to the centre of the scene through the cinematic visuals, be it the foggy hillsides or the rainy winding roads at night. But visuals can only do so much when the story itself decides to blindside you with its weak change of direction in the final 40 minutes or so. A final twist tries to help the plot redeem itself but the fight scene that follows is far from being able to make you appreciate the disappointment of the ending

Did the director and story writer lose their interest half way? Why introduce the whole hearing loss plot line if it barely had any relevance to the solving of the crime.
