Review of The Confession

This movie tries to stretch believability and does a very poor job of it. Alec Baldwin stars as a defense attorney in his usual suave, slimy, snakeskin, but somehow is transformed by Ben Kingsley into a harmless bunny by the end of the film. The opening is good, with Kingsley seeking revenge on three hospital workers who failed to help his dying son. I thought, perfect, Baldwin is somehow going to work miracles with Kingsley and get an insanity plea. Unfortunately this was not the case, as "The Confession" veers off the tracks into political corruption, environmental hazards, and worst of all, philosophical diatribe .... - MERK
