Based on the first of a trilogy by Tom Rob Smith and set in the Stalin era of the Soviet Union. The plot is about an idealistic pro-Stalin security officer who decides to investigate a series of child murders in a country where supposedly this sort of crime doesn't exist. The state would not hear of the existence of a child murderer let alone a serial killer. He gets demoted and exiled but decides, with just the help of his wife, to continue pursuing the case.

 Child 44 Movie Reviews

 I don't know what to say to be honest. I was so looking forward to this film that when I saw the trailer I up and bought the entire Trilogy of the book series. I'm not a big reader at all but I read the entire first book in five days which for me is Impressive. I absolutely loved the book it is a Masterpiece and the best book I have ever read and I plan to read the other two sequels. I have now got that out of the way I shall continue on with the movie review. The cast was Superb I will say there is no denying that in any way shape or form though they weren't utilized properly besides Tom Hardy as Leo because he is the main protagonist. I also felt the story moved extremely slow which in the book it was a roller coaster of a ride. The thing that upset me the most was that they changed key plot points and since I just finished the book the day I saw the film it was fresh in my mind. I feel that the points they changed just killed it for me and as for anyone who hasn't read the book they might enjoy this film more so then I did. I would recommend skipping this and buying the book series and reading that instead which is painful for me to say because I was so stoked for this film and it was such a let down. I will say as for the action it was there in a few key points which was a hell of a lot less then the book had and also one last thing to add is most of the reviews from critics were correct which is rare. I bid you a great day.
