It’s no secret that Netflix has been targeting the prestige film crowd with much of its recent film slate. With Oscar-winning films like Roma, Pinocchio, Frankenstein, and K-Pop Demon Hunters, Netflix has become a must-have streaming service for those who love cinema.
This weekend, Netflix is bringing its most recent critically-acclaimed film to the small screen following a very brief theatrical run earlier this month. Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man is a continuation of the 2013 television series Peaky Blinders (which finished its final season 2022), and features Cillian Murphy reprising his role as Tommy Shelby for what looks to be the final time. The film also stars Sophie Rundle, Ned Dennehy, Packy Lee, Ian Peck, Stephen Graham, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Jay Lycurgo, and Barry Keoghan.
The film moves the action forward to World War II, which finds Shelby living in a rural house following his death fake-out, haunted by the ghosts of his past. However, when what is left of his family is threatened, the former gangster must abandon whatever peace he felt during his self-imposed exile to ensure the safety of those he loves.
What are critics saying about Peaky Blinders: The Immoral Man
A fitting conclusion to a long-running series
Critical reception to Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man has been overwhelmingly positive, with the film currently holding a 92% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s Critics Consensus reads, “Capping off Tommy Shelby’s story with grit and swagger, The Immortal Man is a satisfying conclusion to Peaky Blinders that also stands tall on its own self-contained terms.”
In their 7/10 review, ScreenRant calls the film “an entertaining, action-filled, worthwhile return to the story, for those who have been missing a recitation of “in the bleak midwinter” over the past several years.” Collider, which also gave the film a 7/10 said, “The Immortal Man, while obvious at times, also gives you everything you could want in a Peaky Blinders movie. There’s angst, there’s violence, there’s sex, explosions, and swagger.”
