CHILD 44

Synopsis Child 44 (2015) Based on the first of a trilogy by Tom Rob Smith and set in the Stalin era of the Soviet Union. The plot is about an idealistic pro-Stalin security officer who decides to investigate a series of child murders in a country where supposedly this sort of crime doesn't exist. The state would not hear of the existence of a child murderer let alone a serial killer. He gets demoted and exiled but decides, with just the help of his wife, to continue pursuing the case. ??Arnold Awards: 2 nominations Budget: $50,000,000 (estimated) Worldwide Gross: $12,951,093 Soundtrack: A Partisan's Song (Traditional)
