Compare Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man vs The Fix

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Tommy’s spiritual and gypsy side is praised as one of the most worthwhile expansions of his character in the film.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

The film’s treatment of Iran, Middle Eastern characters, and women is one of its most serious critical liabilities. Multiple critics call the portrayal xenophobic, exploitative, misogynistic, one-note, or lacking the nuance the subject deserves.

6 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Dark comedy—especially the Garrison grenade sequence and father-son mud fight—provides welcome relief from the gloom. A few detractors find some of the comic touches cheesy rather than sharp.

11 supporting reviews

The Fix

The intended seriousness sometimes tips into unintentional comedy, particularly in Liam Neeson’s dramatic material. The humor lands more as accidental camp than as a deliberate strength.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The film’s cold-blooded, stylized violence generally fits the franchise’s appeal and is often balanced with swagger or dark humor, though it can edge into grim excess for some viewers.

2 supporting reviews

The Fix

The violence is intense, graphic, and often deliberately brutal, but many critics think the film pushes it too far. Reactions include jarring, exploitative, fetishistic, or shock-for-shock’s-sake, even when the action itself is praised.

8 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Tom Harper is frequently praised for confident staging, visual control, suspense, and explosive set pieces. A few reviews fault specific tonal or narrative choices even while admiring the filmmaking.

10 supporting reviews

The Fix

Guy Moshe’s direction works best during combat, where several critics praise the intensity, control, and battlefield chaos. Outside the action, reactions turn much harsher, citing inert pacing, pedestrian filmmaking, and an overstuffed overall approach.

7 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The strongest readings focus on legacy, self-definition, family, and the cost of valuing power over people. One severe critic felt the film squandered the larger sense of purpose built around Tommy.

5 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The political and moral messaging is sharply divisive. Some praise the film for confronting sanctioned violence, veterans’ abandonment, and foreign-policy failures, while others call the same material gross, blunt, confused, trivializing, or ideologically off-putting.

16 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Murphy and Keoghan’s father-son dynamic is often described as raw, magnetic, and powerful. A smaller group felt the pair never generated the expected sparks or emotional bond.

11 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Chemistry is inconsistent: Tucker and Zara are criticized as awkward or lacking a spark, while the Tucker-Larry relationship gets more favorable notice for its solid rapport. The buddy-team relationships also fail to land for at least one critic.

3 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The film’s grief-heavy, introspective drama gives Tommy’s final chapter weight for many viewers, though its persistent misery and brooding occasionally overwhelm the entertainment.

8 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The dramatic material struggles to convince, especially when the film asks its lead to sell heavier emotional beats. Those scenes tend to feel strained rather than genuinely affecting.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The ending is intensely divisive: many call it fitting, powerful, or even perfect closure for Tommy, while others believe it needlessly overturns the stronger symbolism of Season 6.

33 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Most reactions to the ending are negative, describing it as overstuffed, sloppily neat, jumbled, preposterous, or unsatisfying. A few viewers do find the conclusion satisfying and enjoy the final twists.

9 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Some newcomers report following the story surprisingly easily without heavy recaps, but other reviews point to shaky logic or exposition that does too much work.

3 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The plot is usually described as convoluted, head-spinning, or unnecessarily confusing, especially as deals, betrayals, and late twists pile up. A minority view says the story connects its dots clearly and remains easy to follow.

9 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Period immersion is weakened for some by modern-looking styling, oversized stakes, and questionable wartime plausibility. The film’s stylized mythmaking of Tommy also draws skepticism.

4 supporting reviews

The Fix

Realism depends heavily on what is being judged: some viewers praise the action, locations, and military texture as convincing, while others balk at implausible decisions, naïve operators, and plot turns that demand too much suspension of disbelief.

7 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The sombre, gothic, highly stylized mood works for some as a fitting final chapter, but others find the film tonally off, overly miserable, campy, or caught awkwardly between old and new Peaky Blinders.

11 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Tone is a recurring problem, with critics saying the film cannot reconcile bleak war drama, macho action, heist playfulness, romance, and political seriousness. The result is often described as confused, monotonous, or full of whiplash.

7 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The script earns credit for themes, twists, and some strong dialogue, but criticism is substantial: exposition, clichés, rushed character work, and compressed plotting repeatedly surface.

16 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The screenplay is the film’s most consistent structural problem, criticized as incompetent, bland, convoluted, overcomplicated, exposition-heavy, and in need of major tightening. Even mixed-positive reactions tend to separate the action craft from the writing problems.

12 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The cinematography is the clearest consensus strength, praised for striking light, shadow, mud, rubble, wintry landscapes, and a genuinely cinematic sense of scale.

14 supporting reviews

The Fix

The photography is divisive but has notable highs, especially the moonlit action, strong framing, and immersive battle imagery. One critic, however, found the daytime image blurry and nighttime scenes hard to see.

4 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The central comeback structure, Nazi scheme, and legacy conflict are often described as familiar or clichéd, with several critics saying the film rarely finds a genuinely new plot shape.

5 supporting reviews

The Fix

The twists produce a real split: several critics find them obvious, predictable, or punchless, while enthusiastic viewers praise the double-crosses and late reveals for keeping the movie unpredictable. The plot is more surprising to fans than to detractors.

9 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The core legacy-and-war story is compelling and emotionally satisfying for many reviewers, but others call the movie unnecessary, thin, half-baked, or unable to justify rewriting the series’ prior ending.

33 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The central story is widely criticized as bloated, confusing, derivative, or overloaded with twists, although a smaller group finds it layered, involving, or easy to follow. The premise attracts interest more consistently than the execution.

22 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

An apparent CGI hat is called distractingly bad, standing out as a conspicuous weakness in the effects work.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

Visual effects are sharply split: one audience reaction calls them impressive, while critics describe other effects as cheap, ineffective, or too streaming-grade for the big screen. The digital work is less reliable than the physical action.

3 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Tommy’s reckoning with grief and Duke’s struggle with his father’s legacy work for many reviewers, but the compressed format leaves several supporting characters—and, for some, Duke himself—feeling thin or underdeveloped.

26 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Character work is a major weakness for many critics, who describe Tucker as thin, stereotypical, or short on growth and the supporting roles as underwritten. A few positives come from the team dynamic and the agency given to Zara.

10 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

As a gangster-period-drama send-off, the movie retains much of the show’s identity and pulp energy. Several critics still feel it plays more like an extended television episode than a fully realized feature.

13 supporting reviews

The Fix

As a military-heist political thriller, the film works for viewers who enjoy bloody conspiracies, shifting loyalties, and action-heavy plotting. Critics who want a tighter, more disciplined action movie often find it derivative, bloated, or less satisfying than genre peers.

14 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Dialogue receives mixed marks: some reviewers praise sharp lines and economical exposition, while others call it simplistic, clunky, corny, or overly explanatory.

4 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Dialogue is a near-consensus weakness, repeatedly called clichéd, cringe-inducing, on-the-nose, basic, stiff, or clunky. Even critics who find some natural team banter say the plot-driven exchanges quickly become awkward.

8 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The sexual material draws a negative reaction because Tommy’s sex scene is viewed as cheesy and out of place.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

The sexualized framing of women is criticized rather than enjoyed. The two direct assessments see it as chauvinistic or exploitative and harmful to the film’s treatment of its female characters.

2 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

For supporters, the film delivers grief, regret, family conflict, and a powerful farewell with real force. Detractors found key deaths rushed, contrived, or too hollow to land.

18 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The emotional payoff is uneven: some reviewers respond to the family thread and final-act beats, while others say feelings become an afterthought, ring hollow, or feel manufactured. The movie reaches for weight more often than it consistently earns it.

5 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Legacy, grief, trauma, memory, family inheritance, and self-definition give the film substantial thematic weight. Critics who resist the movie argue these ideas are compressed, overplayed, or left insufficiently explored.

22 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The movie has real thematic ambition around war, loyalty, moral compromise, veterans, and sanctioned violence. Some reviewers find those ideas worthwhile and even thought-provoking, while others say the film leaves them muddled, thin, or hollow.

8 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

At roughly feature length, the movie often feels too compressed for the number of character turns and plot developments it attempts. Several reviewers explicitly wish the story had been a season or miniseries instead.

12 supporting reviews

The Fix

The 141–142 minute length is the clearest consensus complaint. Most critics say the film is badly overlong or could lose substantial time, although a few enthusiastic viewers say the action and twists make the two-plus hours pass quickly.

22 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Many reviewers see the movie as a familiar one-last-job epilogue or a reworking of old Peaky Blinders beats. A smaller group praises its bolder choices and fresh generational angle.

15 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Most comments on originality are negative, pointing to familiar action-heist beats and derivative storytelling. The strongest counterpoint is the unusual Iran-set heist premise, which one reviewer finds genuinely fresh.

4 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The romantic material fares poorly, with Tommy’s sex scene described as cheesy rather than convincing.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

The Tucker-Zara romance is almost uniformly disliked. Critics call it awkward, predictable, tacked-on, and out of place, with some arguing that it creates bad decisions instead of meaningful chemistry.

5 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Several set pieces generate strong tension and claustrophobia, especially the pub and tunnel material. Negative reviews say predictability weakens the climax and removes the sharper twists associated with the series.

5 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Suspense is a relative strength, especially for audience-positive viewers who praise the tension, uncertainty, and edge-of-the-seat third act. The main reservation is that long stretches between action beats can drain urgency.

10 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

An apparent CGI hat is called conspicuously poor, creating a distracting visual blemish in the effects work.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

CG explosions and digital effects are a recurring weak spot, often described as cheap, distracting, or unrealistic. Even more positive reactions tend to praise the action despite the CGI rather than because of it.

5 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Hazy reverie-style editorial cuts are criticized as visually cheesy and as interruptions to the otherwise painterly presentation.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

Editing ranges from a real strength to a serious weakness. The Kabul opening and a crosscut heist-rescue sequence earn strong praise, while other reviews call the later cutting strange, jarring, or outright chaotic.

5 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The action lands best once Tommy returns to Birmingham, with the pub confrontation, shootouts, explosions, and finale frequently singled out. Critics who wanted more momentum found the action too delayed or the climax predictable.

20 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The action is one of the film’s strongest and most consistent selling points, with the Kabul opening and later set pieces often praised as intense, immersive, urgent, or thrilling. A smaller group finds the gunplay obvious, clipped, or creatively empty.

17 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Pacing is the most consistent weakness: the first half is repeatedly described as slow or drawn out, while the later material can feel rushed as too much story is compressed into feature length.

26 supporting reviews

The Fix

Pacing is one of the most repeated complaints, with long setup, draggy stretches, and bloated construction cited again and again. A few positive viewers see steady momentum, a fast pace, or tension strong enough to make the long runtime pass quickly.

17 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The big-screen outing is framed as earned and worth paying for, with the theatrical presentation treated as part of the appeal.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

The Fix

The movie is described as poor value at theater prices and only barely worth a digital chance. The effects, twists, and emotional payoff do not feel substantial enough to justify the cost.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Reactions range from gripping, highly enjoyable fan service to dull, hollow, or unnecessary viewing. A common middle ground is that the movie becomes much more entertaining after its slow first half.

23 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Enjoyment is highly polarized. Some viewers are gripped, entertained, or strongly recommend it, while many critics describe the same film as boring, tedious, or nearly devoid of entertainment value.

22 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Cillian Murphy’s return as Tommy is overwhelmingly praised for its weary stillness, menace, grief, and emotional control; even harsh critics routinely identify him as a major strength.

26 supporting reviews

The Fix

Zachary Levi is the film’s biggest performance divide: supporters call him phenomenal, believable, gritty, and surprisingly effective, while detractors find him miscast, inert, empty, or lacking charisma. Whether Tucker works may largely determine whether the movie works for you.

20 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Modern-rock needle drops remain a signature strength and are widely praised for driving emotion and atmosphere. A few reviewers find the choices dated, overly loud, or less appealing outside the iconic theme reprise.

16 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The music choices are criticized as distracting and are grouped with other odd stylistic decisions. The soundtrack does not emerge as a meaningful strength.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Reviewers appreciate the use of World War II events and the counterfeit-currency plot as historical grounding. Others question specific period details, plausibility, or the sentimental elevation of Tommy within wartime history.

7 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The conspiracy ties a major secret to a real historical figure without enough grounding in known history. That choice makes the premise feel especially shaky for historically minded viewers.

1 supporting review · Limited evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The cast is one of the film’s safest bets: even many negative reviews praise the performances, with the central actors repeatedly credited for elevating uneven material.

29 supporting reviews

The Fix

The ensemble draws sharply divided reactions: some viewers call the cast great or engaging, while several critics find the performances flat, standard, or outright subpar. The split is especially visible around the two leads.

13 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The supporting ensemble is generally considered strong, particularly Keoghan, Roth, Rundle, Graham, and Ferguson. The bigger complaint is often that the movie underuses them or gives their characters too little depth.

26 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

The supporting cast generally fares better than the screenplay gives them room to show. Quincy Isaiah, Wes Chatham, Jake Choi, and Augusto Aguilera earn positive mentions, though other reviews find the ensemble thinly written or largely nondescript.

5 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Aggregated critical reaction is broadly favorable but not uniform, with enthusiasm for craft and performances tempered by repeated complaints about pacing, script compression, and sequel necessity.

2 supporting reviews

The Fix

Critical reception is exceptionally poor, with aggregation coverage placing the movie near the bottom of Liam Neeson’s career and describing the early response as overwhelmingly negative. Length, writing, and casting recur among the complaints.

3 supporting reviews

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

Longtime Peaky Blinders fans are the clearest audience, especially for the callbacks and emotional closure. Reviewers disagree on newcomers: some found the film easy to follow, while others strongly recommend watching the series first.

24 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Audience-facing reactions are much warmer than the critical response, with strong scores and enthusiastic comments about the action, twists, pacing, and fun factor. The movie appears to connect best with viewers already inclined toward military conspiracy thrillers.

The soundscape can feel forceful and theatrical, with one review highlighting Dolby Atmos impact and another calling the sound design incredible. A major dissent criticizes an aggressive music-to-dialogue mix.

3 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

The Fix

Sound draws negative reactions in the limited comments available: one critic calls the ADR awful, while another found the gunfire and explosions intense enough to cover their ears. The mix adds force, but not always pleasantly.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man

The visual presentation is consistently celebrated: smoky interiors, chiaroscuro lighting, slow-motion swagger, period grime, and large-scale wartime imagery make the movie look distinctly cinematic.

24 supporting reviews

The Fix

The look of the film is another major split: some praise its lighting, framing, locations, and artistic compositions, while others call it blurry, stereotypically yellow, or visually unattractive. Its strongest images tend to come during action or location work.

5 supporting reviews · Mixed evidence

Blitz-era Birmingham, grime, rubble, docks, pubs, and warehouses are generally rendered with impressive tactile detail and scale. One negative review thought parts of the production looked like a soundstage.

The location work is a major visual asset in the two reviews that address it directly. Both praise the scouting and environments for convincingly evoking the region and giving the film a stronger sense of place.

The return of Tommy’s tailored Peaky Blinders look remains a major visual pleasure, with covetable coats and sharp suiting earning praise. One review found Duke’s modern-looking styling immersion-breaking.
