Stalin died on March 5, 1953. Before his death, the Soviet Union was under the control of an extremely centralized leader. Cheka and the KGB arrested dissidents with the government, "enemies of the revolution", and were not To be executed was to be sent to a concentrated labor camp like Gulag Island. After 1953, Khrushchev came to power, overturned some of Stalin's conclusions, put a useful patch on the framework of the centralized government, and politically tended towards enlightened autocracy, allowing the Soviets to continue their lives for another 40 years. Child 44 happened at such a turning point in history. The gloomy tone, the looming Stalin, and the political skill, can only feel this shuddering fear by understanding this era and background. This is not a suspense film, you can understand. At the same time, this is also a sentiment of the times, because we have had it before. Compared with the current comic-based movies, Mission Impossible 5, Pig Run 6 and Batman 7 are the best sellers. Such reflections and feelings have been ridiculed by the public. It shows the sadness of history. I would like to praise the film, although he still has many shortcomings. .

Adapted from the British author's novel of the same name, it tells the story of a persecuted MGB (Soviet Ministry of State Security) agent tracking serial murderers during Stalin's time. The biggest obstacle is not the murderer, but the dark times. "Chasing the Killer" is actually more appropriate.
