Peaky Blinders Movie ‘The Immortal Man’ Opens With Strong Early Reviews

Cillian Murphy frames the feature as his final turn as Tommy Shelby as Netflix prepares a next‑generation series.

Overview

  • Early critics are broadly positive, with a Rotten Tomatoes score hovering around 92–93% and consistent praise for Murphy’s performance, though some reviews cite a compressed story.
  • Set in 1940, the film centers on a Nazi-backed counterfeit scheme inspired by Operation Bernhard that draws Tommy out of exile without revealing major plot turns.
  • The cast pairs franchise returnees like Sophie Rundle and Stephen Graham with newcomers Barry Keoghan, Tim Roth and Rebecca Ferguson.
  • Murphy describes the film as the natural conclusion to his 13-year run as Tommy, while a sequel series focused on the Shelbys’ next generation is reported to be in development at Netflix.
  • The feature is in select cinemas now and will stream on Netflix starting March 20.
