🎥 Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, 2026 - ★★

This is a film - not a show and so lacked .. a lot. It also requires the watching of the magnificent series that preceded it to really get it. So yes … enjoyed, but if you haven’t seen the shows … don’t bother and if you have, you will be disappointed.

.. and very glad I missed it in the Theaters.

The star rating might seem harsh - it seemed that way - even to me - but this is a good example of how a normalised rating system can help you - dear reader - get better clarity on the 'why'. To cut to the chase - I did enjoy it - any film that sits with 2 or more stars in here are worth watches - but at this level - a lot of caveats.

★★☆☆☆ Not Bad - BUT - only a 'kinda' recommendation - with (many?) caveats

★☆☆☆☆ Not for me

I get what he’s trying to do … but we seem to be a long way from this working. I think we also are missing a couple or more.

Joke … Rhetorical … Sarcasm … Irony … all spring to mind as concepts that too many people miss as they attempt to ‘finish the internet’.

A quote from The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell discusses exceptional people who can start epidemics and the importance of packaging information effectively.

And it’s getting more and more absurd
