Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

Terry Staunton

Cillian Murphy returns as Tommy Shelby in an explosive continuation of the BBC TV drama, following its sixth series. It's 1940, and after years of self-imposed exile, the charismatic mob boss is back in Birmingham to re-take the reins of family business, after learning his illegitimate son Duke (introduced late in the series and here played by Barry Keoghan) is mixing with the wrong crowd: a Nazi sympathiser (Tim Roth) planning to crash the UK economy with £70 million in counterfeit banknotes. Meanwhile, Tommy's still haunted by thoughts of the tragedies that led him to leave town in the first place. The switch from a six-hour narrative arc to a single feature-length release results in incident and characterisation being truncated, but writer/creator Steven Knight and returning director Tom Harper nonetheless manage to construct a satisfying story that doesn't necessarily require viewers to have deep knowledge of Peaky Blinders lore. Murphy and Keoghan are well matched sparring partners, and Roth's manipulative businessman is a casually nasty piece of work.
