Having read the book just a couple of weeks ago, I was interested to see how the movie compared the printed version.
It wasn't better than the book. Both were impenetrably bleak. The movie simply amplified the dismal portrayal of life in Stalinist Russia that was portrayed in Tom Rob Smith's book.
Mrs Page begged to differ, firmly believing that Tom Hardy can do no wrong. And looks damned good not doing it.
Anyhow, the plot's covered in my review a few days ago. So, for me, this wasn't a classic.
