Film Review: ‘Child 44’ Tom Hardy adopts a Russian accent in this dark Soviet thriller, in which a serial killer isn't nearly as scary as the system that refuses to investigate him.

Danish-Iranian director Ali Abbasi made the film in 2022 based on a true story about a serial killer of sex workers in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad.
