What rubbish
3 March 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was excited to see this movie after having watched a couple of the series.

However, I just spent the entire week watching every single episode of all 5 seasons of Luther.

I wanted to get caught up on the awesomeness of the character so it's fresh in my mind when I watched this movie.

What utter rubbish.

People and cops especially are not behaving naturally like they have and do in all previous seasons of the show.

Those who have probably only watched a season or two are rating this high cause they haven't watched every episode.

This 'movie' wastes and dumbs down what the previous episodes have.

For the sake of a quick, I mean its in the theatres, so they are expecting to make bank.

Then again on Netflix.

What a way to ruin something that had both style and sibstances.

Luther gets a call from crim, tells him he was at the scene.

Rather than tell the DCI to check the footage of those at the bus stop, cause thats a normal thing to do, he ignores that.

Then there is Cullen's mother, she gets a call from her missing son, and without calling the cops goes off on her own to save him, like some superhero.

Also, the third ar reveal of the inside copper, selling out others to be murdered cause he has a secret? Seriously, thats some evil right there. A normal person would just come forth and say thats enough.

I was wondering who wrote this dribble, but was stupefied to see it was Neil Cross.

What the hell happened?

IS this what happens when a ton of money is waved in front of a writer to go from TV to film?

What a waste of an awesome character.
