Info

On Christmas Eve, a hit-man enters a church to confess his sins to a priest. While at first the Confessor seems to be an evil, cold-blooded killing machine and the Priest the ultimate arbiter of good, as the Confessor’s journey is revealed, it becomes clear that both men are much more complicated than either could have suspected.

The Confession Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
TweetyonIMDB Why was this film overlooked? I had thought everyone in Hollywood was asleep until I learnt that the film had originally been released as a webisode series and then went straight to DVD. What a shame! This is one of the most powerful films I've watched in decades. It provokes, it challenges, it stirs the emotions -- and 95% of the film is held together with dialogue by two men sitting in a confessional. I watched it twice in one day. The script - the acting - the way the plot is developed - they are flawless, in my opinion, and worthy of any award. Kiefer Sutherland is perfectly cast as the assassin - reaching out for answers. And it's hard not to empathise with him, once you learn of his background and his obvious pain. John Hurt is brilliantly cast as the embattled priest. He has that weather-beaten face that tells a thousand stories.Another thing that puzzles me is why the two lead stars of this movie are not given top billing credit - which went to 3 bit- part roles? Something's crook in Tobruk, as they say in my country!! Much credit to all the actors - this is a film I cannot fault, and writer-director Brad Mirman is one name I'll be following with interest in future.
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.
mkopoku This web series is a great show......I love every second of it... I really enjoyed all the conversations between the confessor and the priest. It is really profound and in-depth dialogue, I wish more people would watch this web series. I would want to see it on TV as well but I guess there is not enough time. I can only hope this web series expands into a 30 minute or 1 hour episodes in future so that it can be shown on TV as well. I am positive it can be done if all the flashbacks are expended to form complete stories on their own with more action,drama, and dirty works about their (the confessor and the priest) past, present and future. Once again, it is a great series and I want to see more minutes of it.
maggy1964 I wish each episode was a little longer in length. It just start getting good and it says to be continued. It is very suspenseful and thought provoking. I think you may need to have a strong stomach at times during certain scenes but love the realism of the filming. I like that you can watch anytime and if you miss a day that you can watch back episodes. Since we don't have "Jack Bauer" and 24 anymore, I'm glad Keifer has embarked on another project. Good way to get a following and a test audience via the internet. I could see this as a TV show eventually. Even a movie would be an option once there is a large enough interest. Great job, looking forward to more episodes.
