During World War II, Tommy Shelby returns to a bombed Birmingham and becomes involved in secret wartime missions based on true events, facing new threats as he reckons with his past and rising national stakes.
For me, this is the first cillian murphy movie and performance. I’ve seen in which he’s played the lead so while there is more action, it still seems like he’s going with that moody cerebral acting with less dialogue and more everything is told through physicality in his facial expressions and seeming melancholy
It’s dipped into atmosphere and history thst helps shape it and enriches the material that makes it feel deep. It sure if it’s as satisfying for the audience as it feels more for the creators. Very few characters from the show return which is a bit of a bummer.
If looking more for the gangster aspects of the characters and show or in general. You might be disappointed
All this emotion and dread fits yet gets to be overbearing. As it seems to be more what Cillian Murphy seems to enjoy and be into
with some elements of an underworld story.
More about the machinations behind the scenes with double crosses and betrayal more at the heart of things. That as slays has a twist at the end. That makes up to how long it took to get there.
It’s not bad to just expect bigger and better. Rather than settling for the same almost. Only like a shortened season with less of the original cast members. Though some good gust stars to help you forget and it ends the character of Thomas Shelby’s story.
No, I will say this is more made for fans of the show rather than people just coming into the characters. As it doesn’t quite exactly work as a gangster film on its own, especially when it has such a huge history, six seasons of it really.
this seems to be the ultimate series finale that at least part of me could’ve done without as I liked how the show ended for the most part. So in unless they plan on doing the next generation, I believe this might be the end of it all even though they made it seem like there would be a bunch of movies. At least we got six seasons and a movie. Which currently the show COMMUNITY is trying to fulfill that promise
Give the film a chance, but if you’re going to wait around for action, you might be disappointed
Grade: B-
