In 1950s Soviet Russia, secret police agent Leo Demidov (Tom Hardy) loses everything when he refuses to denounce his wife, Raisa (Noomi Rapace) as a traitor. Finding themselves exiled to a grim provincial outpost, Leo and Raisa join forces with Gen. Mikhail Nesterov (Gary Oldman) to capture a serial  killer who preys on young boys. They soon find that their investigation threatens a system-wide cover-up enforced by Vasili (Joel Kinnaman), Leo's psychopathic rival. -WWW Official Website "There is NO murder in paradise !"  Directed by: Daniel Espinosa Written for the screen by: Richard Price Produced by: Ridley Scott, Michael Schaefer and Greg Shapiro    (Source) The Ayala Cinemas boasted  about having exclusive rights in showing this film to the general public, but that wasn't what attracted me to this film.  I was attracted by the tagline: "How do you find a killer that doesn't exist ?"

Maddox/Mattox(Haley), a trigger-happy military tactician. I'm sorry, but I was so happy when Alex tased him.  There are others, but I might just give the story away. It's somehow far from the origi...
