Child 44 (movie)

I didn't even know the excellent book Child 44 was being made! I hear the movie is very poor, but that is really too bad since the books is very good.

"Child 44", by Tom Rob Smith?
"Set in 1953 Soviet Russia, secret police agent Leo Demidov loses his status, power and home when he refuses to denounce his own wife, Raisa, as a traitor. Exiled from Moscow to a grim provincial outpost, Leo and Raisa join forces with General Mikhail Nesterov to track down a serial killer who preys on young boys."

The books is really excellent, and very grim in a way the many investigator/thriller stories about old Russia are to westerners. It always seems that Americans love Russian people in books, movies, tv shows. You really wonder why our politicians don't get along, because Russian people are like opposites who attract to Americans.

I guess don't see the movie, but do read the book. I think I have to go see the movie since I'm such a big fan off the book...but I'm not expecting much given the reviews.
