Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)
Mmmmm... I don't get it!
I am in isolation with covid, as l write this, and decided to catch up on a few things that I've been meaning to watch for a few years. So in the last few days l watched the whole of the excellent Luther TV series culminating with this netflix film. I don't get the plethora of bad reviews... I loved it! I'm normally fairly critical of poor script, bad direction etc. I must have left critical reasoning at the door and just enjoyed it as the roller-coaster ride it felt like. No, it's not a highbrow masterpiece and will not win a shelf of awards, but as a couple of hours of fast paced entertainment it held my attention and l thoroughly enjoyed it. In no way did this film deserve the 1 and 2 star revews it seems to have garnered from some of the overly self important and pompous reviewers. Switch off the cynic in you and enjoy the ride...
Comes a Bright Day (2012)
A great discovery
After watching this surprising little discovery on netflix l was a bit shocked to see some of the negative reviews on here. I think the problem is some viewers have come to this movie with the preconception that it's a mindless heist/hostage film...it is not! Quintessentially British, in a good way... this film has heart, a great soundtrack and an unusual, but warm tone. Come to it with an open mind and no preconceptions. Absolutely worth a watch.
