22-nenme no kokuhaku: Watashi ga satsujinhan desu

So this is a direct remake of a Korean thriller that came out a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to the task. Though if you haven't seen the original you will probably be susprised by a couple of things and may be able to add 1 or 2 points to the 6 I gave this. But only until you see the superior original will that hold up.

The acting is decent and there are small changes to the original, though none improving on what the original did. I know I've stressed that a couple of times, but I just want to make sure, people know it, before they watch this. It's up to you to go back and revisit the other movie or just go for that one to begin with. I'm pointing in that direction, so you can enjoy the twists and turns with a higher quality overall. This one is overall decent ...

Confession of Murder 2017 is a crime,thriller movie remake from a South Korean movie with the same name about a book written by a serial killer exposed his past crime that raise a lot of attention not only from the cop but also from the media about whenever it real or fake.As a guy who already watched the original i think the remake do it justice while adding more stuff here and there make it very interesting when comparing to the original.If you like this movie please watch the original first for a more impactful twist

This film tells the story of a series of five unsolved murders in Tokyo back in 1995. All of a sudden, a man claims to be the murderer in a shocking memoir.

It is disturbing to see a murderer publishing an autobiographical book on his murders. This alone makes this story very intriguing. However, things turn out differently as expected, because nothing is as it seems. The twists are unexpected and surprising. The story offers a lot of mystery and thrill throughout. I enjoyed watching it.

Why is it that in almost every Korean and Japanese film, there has to be ridiculous, long, drawn out scenes of ordinary people and wimpy cops crying alligator tears? And it doesn't matter if the cryers are young, old, male, female, weak or strong - everybody gets their chance to beat their chests raw till tears cascade like rain off their tepid cheeks. Without these annoying scenes, the movies would be powerful, well told, and recommended. Otherwise, just move along. The reveals are poor and ridiculous. Nothing to see here.

The film is very wonderful and it mainly discusses the circumvention of the law and the exploitation of the loophole of the statute of limitations for charges, even if it is a murder.

It also discusses the thorny relationship between law, ethics, and the media, and how the latter affects the collective consciousness of people, when the press presented the killer as if he was a movie star who was fascinated by the general public and loved him instead of hating him & demand that he be tried for his crimes .

The film may be slow in some places, but it shines again. The hero, Fujiwara Tatsuya, was brilliant in the character of the killer. The direction and music were very good. Overall, the film is a unique experience.
