Child 01 (screen)

Rating: 1/10 (8 May 2015)

Another stinker from Noomi! Finally, except « Prometheus », all the Hollywood movies she done are very disappointing and never match the quality of her Scandinavian works. I really wonder why she chooses such projects except to be another time with Hardy ! Here, what annoys me first is that as i'm not naive anymore i rank this movie as mere propaganda. It's very easy for western production to do a movie illustrating the abuses of their « opponents » when there are so much abuse in western countries that are still waiting a movie ! Thus, even before the movie starts, i know that the good guys will be very good and the bad guys really bad and that the first victim of this movie would be the simple truth ! Next, the movie is totally gloomy, dark, depressive with its plot (totalitarian state, serial killer of children) and its production (Russia looks like « Blade runner » LA and the Grey art from Bilal). The story is difficult to follow because I didn't understand why this case was so important. If the cast is rather good, their acting is also ridiculous as every one speaks English with a Russian accent.
