Netflix<\/strong> it needs consistent hits to stay the number 1 streaming platform in the world. Competition is getting tougher, so one of Netflix’s solutions is use franchises that are not originally yours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have a good example with ‘Punches in the Back: The Glass Onion Mystery’, and there the move went very well, as it ended up becoming the fourth most watched movie of all time on Netflix. Now the platform seeks to repeat the move with ‘Luther: Night Falls’<\/strong>a feature film in which Idris Elbe<\/strong> recovers the mythical character that he already gave life to in the British series broadcast between 2010 and 2019.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Obviously, at Netflix they want the fans of ‘Luther’ to return, but they also want ‘Nightfall’ to increase the pull of the franchise by adding new viewers. I am part of this second group, since the original series is one of those titles that I was always postponing in favor of other proposals, which allows me to say that this film can be perfectly enjoyed with limited or non-existent knowledge of its protagonist. . Yes indeed, Don’t expect to find something extraordinary here either, because it is far from it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of more less<\/h2>\n

The great attraction of ‘Luther: Night Falls’ is the confrontation between the characters of Idris Elba and Andy Serkis<\/strong>, more than enough claim for anyone to be at least curious towards the movie. The problem is that the script Neil Cross<\/strong> he seems to have no particular interest in developing new characters, something that clashes with his ability to make old acquaintances flow much better, even for those unfamiliar with them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This means that Serkis’s motivations do not go much beyond that he is bad and enjoys being bad, something that the actor knows how to take advantage of to have an imposing presence on screen. Unfortunately, that intimidating capacity is losing strength as the minutes go by, turning from a cunning manipulator in his powerful start to a mere eccentric villain to be dispatched in less than memorable fashion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And it works much better when his character is an enigma, a resource that peaks during his first confrontation with Luther. There, the visual force with which his plan is executed leads the film to peak in the middle of the footage and then to focus on clarifying everything that is happening until the arrival of the inevitable final confrontation. Unfortunately, Cross is not particularly interested in giving it a dramatic depth beyond what we could find in an episode of any typical procedural series, so ‘Luther: Night Falls’ it suffers noticeably during its second hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n
