Historically, Major Mikhail Fetisov was sent from Moscow in order to investigate the killings in the film he is already in Rostov as a Colonel heading the militia while Victor Burakov was a civilian forensic expert in the film he is a Police Lieutenant assigned by Fetisov to head the investigation. There was no Central Committee comprised of Communist Party and KGB men above the two this was a plot device created for the film to show Soviet bureaucratic methods and the main reason why the case took so long was that the investigators interviewed over , people trying to narrow down who the killer could be.
The mistaken release of Chikatilo, and the botched blood-semen test, was accurate as it occurred in the investigation. Goofs The film spans 12 years, yet Lt. Viktor Burakov's children don't age. Quotes Bukhanovsky : It is embarrassing to see grown men run from their responsibilities.
Crazy credits Epilogue: "The mistake in blood and semen analysis that allowed Andrei Chikatilo to be released in has never been adequately explained. Soviet Russia's head forensics expert has since asserted that she had discovered a rare new phenomenon--a man with a blood type of one kind, and a semen type of another.
Her colleagues around the world scoff at the idea. Chikatilo led detectives to the graves of three undiscovered victims, proving conclusively that he was their murderer, and bringing the final body count to 52 dead.
Thirty-five of the victims were children under the age of Andrei Chikatilo was convicted of all 52 murders. User reviews Review. Top review. Here's an oddity: a modern-day film about a serial killer that has no fight scenes, nobody seen dying, no car chases and no loud noises There are only two short action scenes but they are horrific.
The rest of the story is detective work, and how much red tape the poor detective had to go through to solve the murders. This is a very somber movie, and "somber" best describes the personality of the hero Stephen Rea , as well. Yet, the story is not depressing and it's very interesting all the way through.
Rea is outstanding as the determined, harried-looked detective. Jeffrey DeMunn is downright scary as the killer. Donald Sutherland's Russian accent is suspect but he plays the only character in this film that has some warmth.
Otherwise, it's an intelligent and refreshingly low-key crime film. This is a somewhat unique film that probably is not well-known but is well-liked by the people who have seen it. Since it's based on a true-life account of this killer, it's all the more chilling. Don't pass this by just because you haven't anything about it. Details Edit. Release date February 25, United States. United States Hungary.
Budapest, Hungary. In what was then a communists state, the police investigations were hampered by bureaucracy, incompetence and those in power.
The story is told from the viewpoint of the detective in charge of the case. This movie is about a horrible serial killer type who is a sexually perverted freak mind of the worst kind of sadistic cruelty to vulnerable young ones imaginable perhaps no doubt. The movie depicts the most beautiful human spirit which exists only in Russia in quite the purity Ive known of the folks from there I've often said its pretty much the only adult XXX material which seems mostly to edify in wholesome manner for those who view with a Christian most heart anymore, I daresay It does paint a negative picture of the competence shown by the Soviet era administrators of the Crime solving department Joss Ackland plays a bungling bureaucrat with skeletons in his own closet which must be brought to bear to bring him to heel in the movie too it seems along with such ills of the communist type of mindset inflicted on such most beautiful of the peoples of Europe.
