You are having a bad day at the office.
You are a senior government policeman and a hero of the revolution. Then you are told that your wife has been named as a traitor. The solution is simple -- denounce her, she will be killed, your career will soar.
Wait, it gets more complicated. While having a heart to heart with your wife, whom you love, about your predicament, she reveals that the only reason she married you in the first place is because she was afraid you were onto her, and figured you were blackmailing her into marriage.
You actually were not. And you still love her anyway.
And your day gets worse. Now that you and your wife are effectively fugitives, you learn that the investigation of the murders of children you investigated in your glory days were sabotaged by the state (because "there are no murders in Paradise") and the killer is still out there...
I could go on but you get the point. Superb and compelling and wonderful. Hardy uses his whole face to deliver dialog -- I have never seen that before. Scenes with Oldman and Hardy are priceless.
Wow.
