Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)
Long time coming...
I had been waiting a long time for this being a huge fan of Luther.. maybe to take it as far to say it's my favourite series. Addressing the obvious risks with making the film.. was it going to become too Hollywood. The answer is no. It still has it raw BBC edge. There are parts of Hollywood littered, but not enough to ruin it. Mainly the fight scenes and prison scene.
I've seen people commenting on how unrealistic it is. But I don't know why they are surprised. The stories in all the Luther series are unrealistic, farfetched tales of serial killers with motives highly reflected by their childhood demons. The film is no different. We know that's not reality. But we love it anyway.
They kept the beloved theme tune for the end. They kept the British culture. The iconic London scenes. The British actors.
Andy serkis as the villain was good for the most part. Granted.. I felt the accident regarding his wife and the reason for committing such acts could have been explained or elaborated. But he was creepy. And this is what Luther does..... it's scares you in a way that holds your breath. Not makes you jump or uses fantasy. It's a man creeping in your bedroom watching you. The things we all fear. And the villains have nothing to lose. Everything's a show and this felt like a show in true Luther style.
It wasn't perfect. But Luther's ability to control the situation by reading people was consistent with his character. It missed a bit of clarification following on from the last season of Luther. But I hope they continue with a sequel. I hope the leading ending remains true to his roots and character arc.
Murder, She Baked: A Chocolate Chip Cookie Mystery (2015)
WORST FILM EVER
My boyfriend at the time put me through this monstrous film because I'm pretty sure he wanted me to break up with him.
It's 2 hours of my life I'm never getting back. Ever since the faithful day I watched this I've truly lived life to the fullest to make up for it.
Im pretty sure all the actors are now out of work and attending those lame z list celeb parties or making cooking shows. Poor side.
