I didn't want to be left behind, so I gave it a shot, and I am glad that I did.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man was directed by Tom Harper and written by Steven Knight starring Cillian Murphy, Rebecca Ferguson, and Tim Roth.
The genres are: crime, drama, history, and war. The movie runs for 1 hr 52 mins.
During world war II, Tommy Shelby left Birmingham to isolate himself from the world and his past.
His son Duke Shelby, became an instrument fashioned against his new life as he runs the Peaky Blinders, known for diverse crimes.
He ignorantly got involved in a deal with a very dangerous enemy of his father, which became a way for the enemy to get to Tommy, his Dad.
As a father, Tommy had to return to Birmingham to save his son but he had to confront his former enemies and also face the poor relationship with his family that he had been avoiding.
Peaky Blinders was well filmed. I am really impressed with the old-fashioned outfits. Maybe this appeals to me because I love anything that sparks the memory of those good old days our ancestors enjoyed.
The background and the soundtrack were fine for me. I think everything blended just well.
Cillian Murphy played the role of Tommy Petty well. I have watched some of his movies, and I realized that he is versatile; he can fit into any role and do the job perfectly.
The character Tommy was a cold, nonchalant, and almost emotionless person; Cillian was able to nail it well.
To me, the character Tommy was well-arranged; a balance was created to make him human despite being cold-hearted and a criminal.
Coming back for his son means that regardless of how his heart is, family is still a priority, and he can go to any lengths for it.
Overall, the emotional part of the movie stood out. In fact, it's what made the movie great. Despite Duke's atrocities, Tommy loved him and even gave his life for him. That's the greatest form of love.
There was not much action in the movie, and I understand, but I expected the movie to at least give us a taste of the war going on so that we could enjoy a little side of history.
I enjoyed the movie, but the hype didn't match it. So much exaggeration was made, and I don't even know why.
The ending was very okay; Duke realized his mistakes and repented, but his sins cost the life of his father. It's such a lesson: the seed you sow will always be waiting for you to reap someday.
I will recommend this movie to anyone who likes crime movies that are mixed with emotions. But don't expect a lot of action; Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man won't give you that, but you will enjoy it.
Rating: 70/100
