Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

[Perfidia]

Going to see it tomorrow evening. Mildly excited!

Not many reviews yet, so have to make do with this:

Yes! Exactly. A slow build up, that grand entrance horse ride and then it just fizzled.

Yep, I liked those touches. And I agree, reluctantly, that perhaps it did have to end like that, but it could have been a better story on the way!

I agree. Very disappointing, though as someone said upthread watching CM being moody for a couple of hours is no hardship. Apparently the pig shit/mud was real. It all got a bit lost in a confusing and badly thought out plot, but I agree that the ending was moving and dramatic, and nicely echoed the ending of the series, but without the white horse.

Interesting …

I started watching it last night, so disappointed. It’s dreary for want of a better word. The script is less clever and lacks punch. I’ll plough through it because it’s Cillian Murphy, and I could sit and watch him read the weather forecast on a loop!

Never thought I’d react like this. Peakys is my favourite series ever. After an hour I started rewatching series two, the difference is mind blowing, pacy, funny, sad … the film is so lack lustre in comparison.

Has CM’s accent improved at all?

No.

The ending felt right to me, and it made me emotional 🥹

I was sad about Arthur and dont believe that would of happened

wish there could of been an explanation re Finn.

I found Rebecca Fergusons character annoying

I enjoyed it for what it was.

I'm now re watching the whole six series

I thought as much. It puts me off watching any of it.

BK was awful, just exhaustingly mid. I wanted to love it. It was a bit crap. I might try a rewatch.

watched it last night. have to agree it was missing strong females. Duke was woefully miscast......and why do they all mumble so much. had to have the volume up as high as it would go.
I ended up caught up in wondering why all those young ment were not fighting in the war!
still worth it all to see Tommy on horse back.

A new person for Duke! And confirmed it’s set in the 50s, not preceding the film, sadly. I don’t think I’ve seen Jamie Bell in anything.

Jamie Bell was Billie Elliot. He’s gone on to do well and I’d happily watch him I think. As long as he’s not hammy!

there is no way Tommy would kill Arthur, no chance.

also I don’t think Duke would have shot his father.

it just didn’t have depth. The actor playing Duke was just wrong - weird twin sex too with gypsy incantations. Writing the book on the narrow boat… so much wrong. Just like basic level script… the strange English Nazi - the fake notes / just all wrong wrong!

Very disappointing, some great actors wasted in this rubbish storyline, clearly left loose ends to drag out the next series.

One can only hope Steven Knight wrote this second rate fare because he’s saving all the good stuff for the revived TV series? I do see that might be a strong motivation.

Ugh I've just watched this and it was one of the worst films I've ever seen! I was so disappointed.
The actor that plays Arthur was done for drug possession and has erm, had a bit of a breakdown. I think they just had to tie up the ends. I loved Arthur but he was an absolute liability!
DH and I were laughing at the nazi, shouting heil Hitler and speaking german at the Liverpool docks 🤣 very undercover! The whole thing lacked depth. I loved that they got Johnny Dogs, Charlie and Curly back but no way would they be on a job at their age. The lack of extras was laughable especially at the morgue. Literally no staff, no one in the streets etc. it all just felt very low budget and served no purpose other than to off Tommy and tie up all the loose ends.
