Seth_Rogue_One If you search for 'The Confession (2011)' on here you will find that there is actually two hits for that, and both with the same poster and actors, director etc.The difference is one is listed as a TV-series and one as a movie.So what differs the 2? Well, not that much in fact nothing from what I've gathered you see 'The Confession (2011)' was originally a 10 part web-series with each episode being 6 minutes long and this movie is merely all 10 parts put together.Now the good news is that the flow between the parts is pretty effortless, in fact I was a bit surprised when it turned out to be the case (regarding the movie being a 10 part series).So yeah it works fine as a 1 hour long movie.The only reason I gave it a 5 (I was debating whether or not it was worth a 6 or not) is because there were moments where I lost interest a little bit and the (meant to be) powerful ending wasn't all that gripping to me.That said the acting is fine (although tbh at times it felt like Kiefer Sutherland was playing Jack Bauer and not a completely different character), it's mainly a character-study drama of a hit-man but it has some moments of suspense as well, some flashbacks and stuff.So nothing amazing but if you're a huge fan of Kiefer Sutherland and John Hurt I'd say it could be worth a look.

SAM WISER After a rather boring start in a peculiar setting (church) - a rather awaited outcome comes to fruit.what captivated me in this well narrated film - not only Keifer Sutherland - one of the best i know - but the build up, until the near final scene of his own childhood.the absolute terror in the eyes of the wife, the cold apathetic eyes of the bully, the whole short scene - is so vital in to be seen seen again - and understood from all corners - young and old, maybe it will move people who have "disturbances" and get carried away sometimes and do violent things to their family and surroundings.someday - it will get to you too...

dbdumonteil There is something I cannot understand;it is really beyond me;how can a movie so highly rated,a rating it thoroughly deserves , be totally overlooked by the users,as far as comments are concerned ?after watching it,I was expecting at least one hundred of them!Much to my surprise,I'm the first one to write about it.This very short work (70 min ,but no filling!),bitter and utterly uncompromising ,will perhaps be more appreciated if you were brought up a catholic ,but every viewer looking for "something different" will be rewarded.The action takes place in a confessional ,where a man who's just killed someone -and is about to repeat this crime this very night- wants a priest to give him absolution.There are many flashbacks ,and little by little ,we understand the sinner can show compassion ,pity ,and that it is not a black and white world,but surely a gray one.We guess the unexpected final twist halfway through the movie,but the interest does not suffer for it .The movie deals with religious concepts such as free will ,the relativity of what's good and what's evil and the existence of God himself is called into question;it could also be seen as a metaphoric meeting with the Devil ,but it's up to you to decide,all in all, who the real satanic being is.There're only two actors (the others are supporting for a very short time)but they are merely prodigious :Kiefer Sutherland portrays an ambiguous character,a killer who sometimes resembles a black Robin Hood (the extraordinary and totally unexpected scene of the computer),and who,from the start,got a raw deal ;Matching him every step of the way is aging John Hurt's tormented priest who believed he could redeem himself and escape from a horrible past .Even with violence kept to the minimum ,this is a pessimistic terrifying movie,which leaves no hope to the viewer .It might shock true believers ,the words do not cut ,they bite;but they inspire the vital extremism of the confrontation.70 min of your time;it's not much and you won't forget "the confession"

theoidos Five stars just for the good plot twist. Oh, and for Sean Callery soul, I mean: sound.But to put both shooting fiction and religious fiction together is a problem, because for shooting actors need not to handle guns upside down to make the shooting obviously fictitious, but they need to do it with religious behavior to make it fictitious.And even some catholics will not grasp it, because the church is real, the confession spot is real, the vestment is real, and all the secondary doctrinal stuff are real. JUST what is really central, the real core of Christianism it put upside down, if not just OUT.So, watched the film and still need to know what? Ask ANY father, because not ONE of them would miss it is and behave like that, even if such kind of plot was real - because it not rarely IS.
