Is it as Clever and intriguing as the TV series, a simple answer is no, is there lots of action, yes.
Are there some bits where you go WTF ? Yes, hell yes.
Now my feelings on this, is that this was supposed to be series 6, a full season on this could and should have been wonderful. However, alas it wasn't to be, whether it was Idris or the BBC not wanting to do we may never know, but there was definitely an appetite for more. Is this what the masses were hungry for ? I am not too sure but, it really isn't as bad as people are giving it, I mean 2 out of 10 is just ridiculous, I understand it doesn't live up to the amazing TV show, but it's a fun film, and I for one quite enjoyed Andy Serkis's performance, it reminded me of a 1970's bond film villain, camp, funny and truly twisted.
It's in no way a movie that could up there with things like Jason Bourne, but it's as good as Little Tom's attempt at Jack Reacher (watch the TV show on Prime Video, that is excellent)
In summary, this could have been way way better, but it also could have been a whole lot worse.
I do suspect that this ain't the last we have seen of Luther.
