There is no murder in paradise

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2016)

It's crazy how damned good Tom Hardy is in the 2015 movie, Child 44. He portrays Leo Deimdov, a character who can survive wherever he finds himself, even in a Russian militant organization under the Stalin regime.
Anyone who has ever worked in any organization, especially a government organization at any level, knows how threatened even the most tolerant bureaucracy can be by someone who demonstrates competence and commitment, and also has a moral compass. Leo survives.
Also, the late Gary Oldman is excellent, as always.
This movie didn't get great reviews. But don't listen to them. And for those who didn't like it the first time, watch it again.
