7/10. A failed case of the fusion of the commercial blockbuster structure and the ambition of historical reflection, the multi-layered narrative space is mixed in a plate shape: the official battle of the secret service department climbing up the camp, the psychological analysis of criminals carrying the marks of famine and war, the system of urban law enforcement officers being sent to the countryside Conflict, the empty marriage of the hero and heroine collided with the truth-no matter which narrative level is very hasty, the characters' emotions are seriously masked, and the spread of individual clues is not enough to give a good ending. The film attempts to restore a special era when political repression is more important than human rights protection. The peasant couple was shot in front of the child by the big squad. They did not hesitate to report their relatives in order to gain work performance. The homosexual train conductor who committed suicide, the murderer shouted Stalin when he was waterboarding himself, the eyewitness who had key clues to solve the case did not dare to speak, the lies at the end that shaped the "hero" to arrest the murderer and the officer's office talk in denial that society created perverts, all intensified The heavy atmosphere of iron power of the era. PS: The appearance of the wife's casting is a failure. What kind of aesthetics are the agents and villains who want to occupy her and rape her.

I tried my best to keep my sleepy eyes wide open, and I stumbled and insisted on reading it. Unraveling the appearance of a murderer prematurely weakens the suspense; lashing out at the system of the former Soviet Union suppresses a lot of suspense and tension. The actors are good, Tom Hardy has a Russian accent, but Gary Oldman is not very strong.

Leo Demidov: Raisa. Do you think that... that I am... That I am truly a frightful man? You think maybe I am... a monster?
Raisa Demidov: [quietly but firmly] No.
