Based on the true story of the hunt for the most savage and elusive serial killer on record. It started with eight bodies found murdered, raped and mutilated. A brilliant Soviet forensics expert (Stephen Rae) is put in charge of the case by his colonel (Donald Sutherland). But the investigation is buried under government red tape until a psychiatrist (Max von Sydow) is called in to create a psychological profile of the murderer. With fifty-two victims to his name, the killer they call Citizen X finally takes shape before their eyes. But can they trap him before he kills again? Stephen Rhea is top notch and the rest of the cast shines as well. Great psychological thriller about a serial killer which gives you a taste of what it is like inside the Iron Curtain. Not a graphic violence movie but it a great little movie that you probably never heard about. ....
