A 90 min movie stretched into two and half hours

Rating: 3/10 (1 August 2015)

First off don't believe all the Putin lovers who have infiltrated IMDb,
It's not filled with American, anti Russia/soviet propaganda. What it does show however is KGB or something like it, arresting people in the way that was quite usual for that era.
The movie has very little, if anything to do with the book.
The thriller element that was driving the original version(citizen X),is here replaced by drama.and the actors look bored. The plot is somewhat the same a serial killer in the old Soviet Union,and the hierarchy and communism party members cover it up with scapegoats,and there by prevent anyone from catching on. Until one man finally see the big picture etc. (this part is very American) but it is however based loosely on the book by the same name,so her it stays somewhat true to the book To me the movie became boring real quick and I lost interest 30 min in.
There was never any need for this movie. Citizen X cover it all.This one just turned it into a soap opera. It's just another one of Hollywood failed attempts to relaunch something that has been a success once,and just add a twist.So It seem Original
