Citizen X is one of those films where you don't just wait to see who the killer finally was the enjoy the rolling end credits. This movie is a very taut and tense affair. It has minimal dialogue, less locations and that's what makes it almost theatrical. The story is about the serial killer manhunt in Communist Russia in the 1980s. Stephen Rea, his is a master subdued performance, is the main intelligence incharge, who is helped in his search by a Colonel, played by Donald Sutherland. The movie takes its time to unfold the sequences. there is no rush of fast editing, loud action sequences or shouting dialogue. It's an underplay all the away, and the performances, and setting encourages that. An unforgettable Docu-drama, i would recommend CITIZEN X to everyone who like drama movies.
