New Release

‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’

Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) returns in a feature-length continuation of the titular crime saga, now set during World War II. Barry Keoghan joins as the younger brother, Duke Shelby, and Ada Thorne (Sophie Rundle) joins them once again as the stalwart sister. The WWII setting gives the saga a heavier sky, with smoke hanging over Birmingham, as the Shelby clan presses into a new decade. Murphy moves through it with the coiled restraint he’s perfected, while Keoghan’s Duke brings a streak of impatience that hints at a changing of the guard.
