Confession of Murder
Thriller movie review from a lady's perspective
Cool Factor:
Be WOW-ed with comic-styled cinematography, gripping plot and charming Koreans!
Movie Synopsis:
Through their starkly different characters, Jung Jae-young and Park Si-hoo make a good combination to fuel the pace in this thriller movie. 17 years after a serial killer case for 10 unsolved murders of innocent women, a man comes out to publish a book confessing to the crime in vivid detail. Under the 15-year statute of limitations, as the crime was never solved, the proclaimed murderer cannot be charged. The detective in-charge of the case, whose ex-girlfriend was also one of the victim, confronts and challenges the author that he is but an opportunistic imposter on TV. The murderer through the series of media coverage, receives bizzare cult status with a strong idol following by the female population in South Korea... As the debates progress, the plot takes many twists which will surprise the audience till the very end. (NC16)
Cast:
Win-win combination of talented lead and supporting casts!
~ Jung Jae-young plays the unintelligent looking and uncouth detective Detective Choi who turns out to be more as the plot progresses.
~ Park Si-hoo is the proclaimed author of "I am the Murderer" and murderer. In the world of Korean MTV-styled movies, it would not be complete without attractive actors and actresses. As said in the movie, you have to be stunningly handsome to claim commit a crime these days.
~ Min Ji-ah plays supporting cast as Detective Choi’s murdered girlfriend, to fill the place of the adorable looking actress in this movie.
Date-friendly:
Action, humor, touching moments, romance, anger as well as a nice change of rhythm throughout, make it an easy 2 hours session of entertainment to pass. Your girlfriend will probably hold your hand in some of scenes due to the suspense and the tender moments. When you leave the cinema, this movie will leave both of you something to chat about and build a closer relationship with one another.
Tips:
Be warned that some of chase scenes are intentionally shot with disorienting camerawork which may cause nauseous discomfort to you or your partner. So if either of you have adverse reactions to jarring movements, do choose seats further from the movie screen.
