"Number 44" is a film released on the screen in 2015. The picture of Daniel Espinosa caused conflicting reviews. In Russia it was withdrawn from the hire. What is the film "Number 44"? Actors, roles and the plot are presented in this article.

Plot

According to negative reviews (and there are many of them) there are a lot of "blunders" in the picture. Stars of world size were played in the film "Number 44". The cast is one of the reasons why millions of Russians watched the film despite its scandalous fame.

The film takes place in the fifties. The plot is based on the investigation of a series of murders. The film is based on the work of Tom Rob Smith, who in turn used a well-known material about the crimes of Chikatilo. At the same time, historical events are surprisingly intertwined in the plot of "Numbers 44". The actors who played the main roles played the victims of the Stalin regime, people who, despite the all-powerful state machine (whose representatives are not interested in the investigation), are trying to find a serial killer. So, who played in the thriller "Number 44"?

Actors and roles (main characters)

Tom Hardy played in this picture of Leo Demidov. Lieutenant MGB, happy husband, and in the past - a pupil of an orphanage. This is the main character of the film "Number 44". The actor played brilliantly as always. The admirers of Hardy's talent watched the film just in order to see how well a famous artist would cope with the role of a Soviet officer. However, the plot, which many spectators in Russia were dissatisfied with, probably devalued the talent of this famous actor.

Tom Hardy is an active filmmaker, participates in theatrical productions, and is also a screenwriter and producer. The first film that brought him popularity was the film "Stewart: Past Life", for which he was nominated for a BAFTA award.

Cinematographers from four countries - the United States, the Czech Republic, Britain and Romania - took part in the creation of the film "Number 44". The actors who played in it are citizens of different countries. So, the main role was played by the Swedish Nomi Rapas. The actress played the beloved wife of Demidov, a woman named Raisa.

Once started Numi Rapas his career with roles in low-budget and short films. Then she played the role of a hacker in the trilogy "Millennium", which brought her world fame and opened the way to Hollywood. The first English-language picture in the filmography of the Swedish actress was "The Game of Shadows." In addition to Numi Rapas, two more Swedish artists played in the film "Number 44".

Actors and roles (Fares and Kinnaman)

Fares Fares played a friend of the main character - Alexei Andreev. Yuel Kinnaman played the role of a KGB officer. Vasily Nikitin is one of the negative characters in the film "Number 44".

Actor Yuel Kinnaman, who played the role of kaebist, was born in 1979. He started acting in film in 2002. Noticeable picture of the actor - "Easy money." After her premiere, the actor began receiving proposals from directors from both Sweden and other countries.

Gary Oldman

The brilliant play of this actor is devoted to a few positive reviews about the film "Number 44". Oldman in the sensational picture played the Soviet general. It is worth recalling some facts from the biography of the movie star.

In 1978, Oldman graduated from the theater school and got a job in the theater. Here he worked for about 9 years and received many awards. With his play, the young artist attracted the attention of the producers, which brought him some interesting roles. One of them became the role of musician in the film "Sid and Nancy". In the nineties, the most significant paintings were several parts of "Harry Potter", as well as the role of the detective Gordon in the "Dark Knight". The actor has many prestigious roles.

Other artists

• Vincent Cassel.
• Paddy Considine.
• Jason Clarke.
• Charles Dance.
• Nikolay Li Kos.
• Joseph Altin.
• Sam Spruell.
• Michael Nardone.

In the film, as already mentioned, there are a lot of historical discrepancies. Inconsistencies also apply to Soviet realities. So, after the main character is lowered in rank, he occupies the position of an ordinary policeman. At the same time Demidov wears shoulder straps of the colonel. They address him only as "comrade general". There are other "blunders" in the story. However, according to reviews, this film is worth a look at least for the sake of excellent acting work of T. Hardy and N. Rapas. According to opponents of this picture, it would have turned out to be a good film in the detective genre, if the writers had not touched on the events from the history of the USSR.
