Anyone see the new "Luther" film on Netflix?

What did you think?

[Ocelot II]

1. It was extremely violent and weird,

and I didn't think the story was credible at all. I liked the TV series, found the movie disappointing.

4. Thank you very much. I wondered about it as well, but now I know.

That is a perfect recipe for not my cup of tea

2. Terribly disappointing. I thought I could sit through Idris Elba reading a cereal box.

Turns out it wasn't true. I turned it off about a half hour in because it was so cringe-worthy and such a disservice to the fabulous TV series.

5. I agree. I think Elba is great, but he wasted his talent on that.

The plot made no sense, and it was just gory and nasty.

3. I agree. The story made almost no sense.

I never saw the tv show, so I have nothing to compare it with. Maybe I should check it out.

6. The TV series is excellent, don't know how they got that mess of a movie from it.

9. Definitely watch the TV series. It's great. The movie is not representative of it.

7. I love Idris and the British series he starred in.

Hearing this critique, not gonna want to view the movie. That's a shame. Thanx for the heads-up.

8. Haven't seen it

because I don't have Netflix anymore. I usually enjoy his acting and TV/Films he is in. One of his to avoid is called "Beast". Horrible cliche piece of crap. I only made it about 15 minutes into it. I figured out the ending by that time and fast forwarded to confirm I was right. I was. I was expecting a good film since he is in it. Its not.

10. I enjoyed it

It was a slickly done thriller that was compelling to watch. The villain's MO was clever and frustrating, like he could coerce almost anyone to do his bidding. It reminded me of probably the best episode of Black Mirror, "Shut Up and Dance."
