Detective has to fight the soviet bureaucracy to stop a serial killer
Citizen X is a true crime story based upon a book and takes place in the Soviet Union. It focuses upon the investigation into a serial killer. The detective however has to fight against the state as well as look for evidence, which becomes the focus of the film.<br /><br />Lieutenant Viktor Burakov (Stephen Rae) is a lowly policeman put in charge of the case. The story turns out to be more a comment upon the Soviet Union rather than a crime story. Thus Burakov spends as much time arguing with the local Communist Party members as doing his investigation. The actual murder is really messed up as well and gets its own time but really the theme is about how the Soviet system was more interested in maintaining the status quo than a serial killer.<br />C
