Description: The search lasted for eight long years. Day after day Victor Burakov led the hunt for a terrible maniac killer modernity Andrei Chikatilo.
Review: The film “Citizen X” tells the story of a difficult and drawn-structured time finding Soviet militia serial killer Andrei Chikatilo. It shows the beginning of this terrible stories, real-life, and its logical conclusion. But, nevertheless, still director of the film was much closer to a somewhat different opposition than the police and the killer. It is much more demonstrated a heavy burden on the hunter for the insane, exposed to the front battle between the pathologist Burakov and its psychological burden test. This profession (or rather vocation appointment) tirelessly to find the dead bodies of the victims year after year, to save flattened emotions of helplessness and there is one main enemy hero-detective. I think that the main objective of this work is demonstrate just that, so to speak, to investigate the identity of the pursuer, burdened with a huge responsibility. On the central role in the party involved Burakou gifted actor Stephen Rea (Stephen Rea), coping with the task very dignified, portraying complex emotions of a constant internal psychological pressure, becoming the mirror of nested directorial ideas. In addition, Donald Sutherland (Donald Sutherland) well accustomed to the role of the military bureaucrat, Max von Sydow (Max von Sydow) played an episodic, but a key part in the form of a therapist, and a display maniac Jeffrey De Munn (Jeffrey DeMunn) just as valid, but his character only remotely casual devote time, indicating the formation of a pair of related items on a terrifying journey.

It may lack some of the polish of a big-budget, big-screen film, but this gripping and VERY well-acted procedural is one of the productions that proved cable channels could rival Hollywood studios for quality content. The relatively low budget shows in a few spots, and at times it’s a little too “AMERICA #1!!!”, but this is a great little film with a magnificent performance from Rea (everyone else is pretty damn good, too).
