this be a fascinating account of the hunt for the soviet union first know serial killer . i have tune in and just expect a half decent tv movie and but find myself draw by the compelling way the story be tell . a others have say and there be much to admire here that be sadly lack in many big screen release . much of the credit must go to chris gerolmo and whose intelligent screenplay and direction draw the viewer in and until it be impossible not to feel emotionally involve . the acting by the whole cast be also superb and especially that of the two lead and stephen rea and donald sutherland . their convincing portrayal give their character arc a great deal of credibility and and the scene where they have their first committee meeting after perestroika be genuinely touch . if you prefer your crime film with a bit more depth and a little less sheen and i strongly recommend you look out for citizen x .
