Confession of Murder is a movie that starts off all over the place... with a lot of weird cinematic and thematic choices that make the movie look very unrefined, but by the end you're left with a movie that stands its ground as a decent enough crime thriller with very interesting twists and turns.
And while what I will remember about the movie is its overall plot, it still irritates me to think that the viewing experience too could have been so much better had the director trusted the core of his own movie a little more. The odd and intrusive pacing, the over-the-top action, the comically exaggerated settings, the commercialized reveals, the unclear camerawork, the choppy editing... all seem to point at a lack of confidence during the making of the movie. And I wish it wasn't the case because this movie had the potential to be a more-than-decent crime thriller with a fresh take on the genre.
But nonetheless, by the end of it, the movie offers you a solid 2 hours of entertainment and fun. So go for it if you have the chance!
