I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Yeap. Its THAT WEIRD.But even if that "makes it bad" by definition, all the scenes and segments and sequences are well done, in my opinion. Some better than others, of course.Maybe I just like Tom Hardy that much, but I though it was a good movie, overall, if you can forgive the fact that it jumps from genre to genre (quite clearly, actually). I can do that, do you?
Only good thing about this movie is the acting which is Great.Movie really doesn't focus on the murder of the children, it mainly focuses on Leo and his wife problem with the Russian Embassy. Movie should have a different title, even if the title is changed to fit the movie, its still trash.
This was probably rated lowly by people who don't expect to need to think while watching a movie. I found it very entertaining and supported by what I KNOW about Stalinist Russia. The subject is very dark and is very difficult for anyone who has no experience or knowledge of Stalinist Russia to perceive.
Being a daughter of a historian, The movie factually depicts the interrogations & investigations led by the Soviet Secret Police. " There is no murder in paradise, per Stalin's reign", Tom Hardy's performance was overlooked by critics, as his lead role as Leo Demidov, takes the viewer on an emotional roller-coaster.
