Bad Russian accent

Rating: 6/10 (14 October 2015)

This story goes back in time, in Stalin's Russia of 1945. The representation (clothes, scenery, feeling) of this era is great. Tom Rob Smith's bestseller from 2008 has been turned into a mainstream movie, with all the actors to speak English with heavy and bad Russian accent. Tom Hardy with his pretty face and muscular presence is good enough for the role of Leo, giving a solid performance, but the story in general is boring. There is no fascination and any interest in finding the killer. Actually I didn't understand what this movie wants to be. Is a thriller? A crime story? A romance? It's a little bit of everything, but unfortunately is not sufficient in any of all this.
