- While the acting's good and the period setting is impressively executed, Child 44 lacks a compelling mystery. At almost two-and-a-half hours long, the story is packed with unnecessary subplots and scenes that do nothing to progress the plot. Even when the story is interesting, it's often marred by dim presentation and faulty Russian accents.
