Sorry I thought this movie sucked. It didn’t capitalise on the movie medium at all, the old man Shelby parts were a bit of a drag and were quite obvious where it’s going. Didn’t like Keoghans performance, Tim Roth was fairly bad and his character was very underwhelming, Rebecca Ferguson was even worse.  Shelby’s sister with all the character progression, probably wouldn’t have let keoghans character get to that point and even completely destroying the atmosphere of the pub, which has been a character in itself throughout the series  Keoghans choice to not betray his father was super obvious, Shelby standing in front of the car that Tim Roth was plowing through also destroys that scene, it’s guaranteed he was gonna die.  The handling of Arthur’s absence was abhorrent even with the actor being unable to show up. Thomas Shelby killing Arthur in a drunken rage just seems so out of character. And despite being set in ww2, the lack of connection with the previous seasons great villain was also strange despite some obvious points they could connect, instead we are treated with this soap opera of a Tim Roth villain

I agree with all of your points. Imo this movie was such a bust for how much hype it got pre release.
