Citizen X
Citizen X
Based on the true story of a Russian serial killer who, over many years, claimed over 50 victims, mostly under the age of 17. In what was then a Communist state, the police investigations were hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence and those in power. The story is told from the viewpoint of the detective in charge of the case.

This one surprised me. I really like Stephen Rea, and he was great in this film. This is a disturbing look at the Russian police force's inability to handle a serial killer. Since seeing this, I have done a lot of research on the killer in this movie, and this seems to be very factual. There is also another movie that is very well done on the same subject. Evilenko stars Malcolm McDowell and takes it from the killer's angle. Both of these films are worth watching.
