Details

• Release Year: 2010
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery
• Plot: Idris Elba (The Wire) stars as Luther, a brilliant, emotionally impulsive detective tormented by the darker side of humanity. Luther shines a light into the hearts and minds of psychopaths and killers and the shadowy spaces of his own soul. A self-destructive near-genius, Luther might just be as dangerous as the depraved criminals he hunts.; ; Luther follows his own moral code as much as the rules of criminal law. But he quickly becomes locked in a lethal battle of wits with Alice (Ruth Wilson, The Prisoner, Jane Eyre), a beautiful, highly intelligent mass murderer who evades his grasp early on, and his decision-making process becomes increasingly murky. The strain begins to tell as he's drawn deeper and deeper into a series of horrific murders, and the shadow of a former case threatens to bring him down.; ; Forced to face his own capacity for violence, he struggles with why his wife left him and what draws him to Alice. As the stakes get higher and more personal, Luther's lonely path pulls him towards the very edge of temptation. Is he a force for good or a man hell bent on self-destruction?;
