But the 2023 film, which arrived in select cinemas on Friday, received two and three stars from critics. Brian Viner in the Daily Mail also took aim at the storyline and praised the “sizzling star quality” of Elba. Though he said Elba, 50, brought his “mighty physical presence” as DCI Luther, Bradshaw added there is not the “same character-related interest as the TV series could generate”.
