Tom Hardy adds another accent to his repertoire in this gloomy thriller, a grim saga of child murder and statesponsored intimidation that’s equally as bleached of colour as it is of joy. Set in Stalin’s Russia, its complex story finds Hardy’s disgraced intelligence officer hunting a killer his government won’t admit exists: an Orwellian scenario that allows director Daniel Espinosa to supply traditional genre thrills, as well as more thoughtful musings on how character is shaped under a suppressive ideology. Gary Oldman and Noomi Rapace lend solid support; at two hours plus, though, it’s a bit of a slog.
