For anyone holding on to some latent hope that Idris Elba will be the next James Bond, I have some bad news: "Luther: The Fallen Sun" puts (another) nail in that very firmly sealed coffin. In one of the rare moments of levity in the sinister film, the embattled detective John Luther sits down at a chic bar and tells the bartender it's been a long day (an understatement).

"I would say a long day calls for a martini," the bartender says.
