Confession of Murder

The bad: Really highly improbable car stunt and other action scenes that had the likelihood and ludicrousness of comic book writing. People jumping from rooftops; out of moving vehicles onto hospital gurneys or tops of other cars while fighting as if no more dangerous than on a kitchen table top, etc. I wasn't sure if it was meant to be spoofing movies that go cheaply overboard in that direction, or not. Decided not, that they were serious. A sadly laughable distraction that lessened the intelligence of the storyline. The good: As others will state it has a novel crime thriller twist and turn structure not seen elsewhere. Kudos for that.

Overall score = 6.

I really liked the movie. If you like movies that hold your attention and are full of plot twist, this movie is for you. Hollywood dreams of being as creative as Korean thrillers, and this is one of those.

The movie starts out tense, catches your attention right away and honestly didn't expect as much twist as it had in the movie. Go beyond the IMDB average 7, this movie deserves to be appreciated.

A good South Korean thriller with a fantastic premise, but ultimately brought down by its over-the-top action sequences. Its really too bad the director though the movie needed more 'action scenes', when the suspense and storyline provides more than ample amount of excitement! South Korea is proving to be one of the most exciting filmmakers in the world, but this entry just barely lives up to that title. There are FAR more exciting and well put together SK movies out there, such as, 'Oldboy', 'Memories of Murder', 'Mother', 'I Saw The Devil', and quite a bit more.

Wow, impressive opening scene. The film is so well made and with the serious plot, it is a pity some of the scenes were made as comical as they did. The comic relief seemed completely out of place for this type of film. Thankfully, they abandon this during the second half of the film. After the halfway mark, we're hit with twist upon twist - and its both fascinating and shocking. Shi-hoo Park was excellent in his role. Notably, Yeong-ae Kim was also excellent as Victim's Mom.

When the big reveal comes about who really wrote the book, a lot doesn't really add up and some of the character's actions are questionable, but that aside, this was one of the most intriguing Korean films I've seen. The action scenes are so well made, it feels as if you're part of the action. The film's final moments are indeed a heart pounding adrenaline rush.

This movie was on my radar for a long time. Saw this recently n got thoroughly entertained.

I finished this 2 hour movie in one sitting without pausing or fiddling with my phone. I didn't even take a pee break.

The first 9 mins is filled with a brutal fight sequence n heart pounding chase sequence and then within 3 minutes it gives another jolt.

The car sequence is very entertaining n fans of Fast n Furious will enjoy it.

And the reason why the killer chose the alleys n rooftops rather than running straight is appropriately explained.

The plot in short - A serial killer after killing ten women appears before a cop and taunts him before disappearing for 15 years and after the expiration of the statute of limitations, the killer emerges again and publishes a book depicting the crimes he committed in the past with 100 percent accuracy and since the law cannot book him, the victims' family members try to kill the killer.
