Leave your thoughts about Luther: The Fallen Sun.
| ColliderCarly LaneThe biggest drawback to making this story a sequel film rather than a revival season is the part where The Fallen Sun doesn't seem to have enough time to develop all of its elements, leaving many plot components either half-baked or barely established before the story demands its characters move on. |
| RogerEbert.comIsaac FeldbergThe Fallen Sun is a natural continuation for fans but also presents a way in for series newcomers, even sending the character off in a new direction that playfully acknowledges Elba’s Bond bona fides while asserting, not unconvincingly, that Luther’s world is quite enough. |
| Total FilmJamie GrahamA propulsive thriller that’ll appeal to die-hard fans and newbies alike. |
| NMEAli ShutlerIf this is the end of Luther, The Fallen Sun serves as the perfect send-off. It’s surprisingly grounded considering the leap from TV (a Dover ferry is about as exotic as it gets) but constantly ambitious enough to warrant the two-hour runtime. |
| ABC NewsPeter TraversThe impossibly magnetic Idris Elba brings his iconic series TV character, London copper John Luther, to thunderous life on the big screen and suddenly all is right with the world. So what if the serial-killer plot can’t get a grip, Elba is pure pow. |
| Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzDirector Jamie Payne keeps things moving, certainly, and the action is appropriately gruesome. But you can see where a little more time to tell the story would have helped. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckIt definitely delivers the goods, making it fairly obvious that DCI John Luther isn’t going away anytime soon. |
| The A.V. ClubMurtada ElfadlThe film’s effectiveness hinges on transferring the hallmarks of the series to the big screen, and to that end, Cross and Payne succeed. |
| Paste MagazineRueben BaronNobody watched Luther for serious social commentary or a moral compass—you watched it because Idris Elba is a beautiful man with arguably the world’s best voice ,and you got to see him catch bad guys played by other good actors. On that level, Luther: The Fallen Sun delivers. |
| Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonWith enough suspense, action and violence for crime-thriller fans and enough Idris Elba for Idris Elba fans, Luther: The Fallen Sun needn’t have a message as well. But here it is: Tell Alexa to get out of your house. And take Siri with her. |
