Personally, I’m quite excited to see this movie – the trailer looks great, the atmosphere is dark and melancholic, and the costuming looks on point. Only down point I can see is the fake Russian accents, which are disappointing. In any case, it’s a great year for Tom Hardy – looks like he scored another excellent, interesting role.
