Simon Pegg Praises Lucy Tulugarjuk For Stealing The Show In Final Reckoning

The shout out to her fellow actor by Simon Pegg is causing a storm in the Internet. Pope had gone on Instagram and gave the biggest hype to Tulugarjuk’s acting in Final Reckoning, saying she pretty much stole the show. And indeed, there are thousands of fans who simply cannot agree any less.

It was super short but very affectionate: “Big shout to Lucy Tulugarjuk who plays Tapeesa in Final Reckoning and pretty much runs off with the whole damn film.” He made sure to tag Tulugarjuk herself and the Mission: Impossible account, so this really served as a massive advertisement for Tulugarjuk.

And the comments? Overflowing with praise. One user commented: “She got me to fall in love with her in under 30 seconds,” which is exactly what I felt. Another user wrote, “Love her, great actress—she shows so much emotion with her facial expressions. Such sweetness and kindness through her eyes.” Supporting roles don’t get this kind of praise every day, but it’s clear Tulugarjuk made quite an impression.

And another fellow was citing with: “I will see you again.” One of the darkest hits of the filmmakers if you know the film. Many more went on to describe her as “sneaky good” and “brilliant.” One even joked, “Why wasn’t she in Trafalgar Square?!?” (And honestly, that’s a fair question.)

International fans are considered fair game as well. One German commenter exclaimed, “The film was great. She rocked it.” Meanwhile, fans speaking Spanish gushed, “I loved them both so much!” The global acclaim for Tulugarjuk’s character only serves to confirm that sometimes a subtle touch impresses deeper.

Of course, Pegg himself was also admired. Another actor, Joe Taslim (of The Raid and Mortal Kombat fame), leapt into the comments with, “Just watched it! So good!! Congrats Simon!!” So yeah, love all around.

But back to Tulugarjuk—what was it about her acting? The very comments tell you: to say quite a lot with very little. Somebody even complimented her on her “polar bear impression,” which, if you have seen the film, you know is a moment.

Pegg’s post was not just a casual mention; it reminded everyone that sometimes it’s the smaller roles that leave a bigger mark. And judging by the reactions, Tulugarjuk’s performance has lingered in the minds of fans well past the fade to credits.

So, if you haven’t made it to Final Reckoning just yet, let this be your sign. Because if there is one thing everybody agrees on, Lucy Tulugarjuk owned every scene she had. And when Simon Pegg says somebody stole the movie, trust me on this: it’s not lipstick from a stranger.
