“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a nice cast involved, I was quite eager to check it out. Unfortunately, I was surprised by how half-baked the damned thing actually turned out to be. I mean, it did have some potential but there was something slightly misguided about making a movie dealing with a Soviet story with a Swedish director and an international cast with not a single Russian actor involved. Eventually, the biggest issue was with the story though. For example, the introduction which was obviously to present the main character was just awkward. Basically, the whole idea was to introduce Leo Demidov as a surviving orphan and then as  a hero soldier so you get back-to-back 2 clumsy jumps in time but, when you think about it, wouldn’t it have ” read more

"I liked this film but the length of it, is the biggest problem. And towards the end I got bit bored. The cast is quite impressive and I liked the performances here.

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- August 2015 (29 movies items)

" DVD- 2hrs. 17min. First Viewing Child 44 should be an interesting thriller with some historical clout; it is instead a boring slog that even it's cast, giving some of the dullest performances of their careers, can't save. It almost like every little thing that could be interesting is first drained of it's potential, then presented to the audience. "
