Based on the novel by Tom Rob Smith, Child 44 is a politically charged serial-killer thriller. After a friend's son is found dead, Soviet secret-police officer Leo Demidov (Hardy) suspects his superiors are covering up the truth. When Leo dares to raise questions, he is demoted and exiled to a provincial outpost with his wife (Rapace). There, Leo soon discovers other mysterious deaths with similar circumstances and convinces his new boss (Oldman) that a deranged serial killer is on the loose––and must be stopped before he strikes again. (Gary Reber)
