"A must watch for anyone that enjoys true crime like Mindhunter. "

"This is a great movie if you liked Chernobyl. It has a similar theme of an honest Soviet official forced to challenge state ideology and secrecy in order to save lives. Stephen Rea is outstanding in the lead role, a detective hunting a serial killer. Donald Sutherland is his immediate superior and the relationship between the two of them is easily the most enjoyable part of this film. The subject matter is dark, the murder of children. But I thoroughly enjoyed this movie."
