We like us some Cold War thrillering so here is a closer look at manly man Gary Oldman’s new feature ‘Child 44’. Official full sized character posters can be seen below.
SYNOPSIS:
A politically-charged serial killer thriller set in 1953 Soviet Russia, CHILD 44 chronicles the crisis of conscience for secret police agent Leo Demidov [Tom Hardy], who loses status, power and home when he refuses to denounce his own wife, Raisa [Noomi Rapace], as a traitor. Exiled from Moscow to a grim provincial outpost, Leo and Raisa join forces with General Mikhail Nesterov [Gary Oldman] to track down a serial killer who preys on young boys. Their quest for justice threatens a system-wide cover-up enforced by Leo’s psychopathic rival Vasil [Joel Kinnaman], who insists “There is no crime in Paradise.”

Could be good, no? Hell I don’t even mind Tom Hardy being in this. Actually, I’ll give Tom Hardy his dues, he’s a good actor. At least from what I seen in Warrior. It is what it is!
