The Confession

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.

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.

Just finished watching all 9 episodes of The Confession. all I can say is that it is probably better than most of the series that stay on year after year, dragging on on the same content and same dialogue, trying to stretch and prolong the very obvious plot lines; this kept you guessing and plunged you into an ocean of thrills, fears and ultimately acceptance, to how life can sometimes be seen. It truly is one of the greatest series, actually, mini series that I've ever had the good fortune to watch.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT- the entire series is only an hour long anyway, but every second of it is hours worth of emotion and depth, every second passed was a moment missed and a moment i wished to see again....not too much time out of the day in order to watch a masterpiece.

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.

I love the seasons of "24" so I wanted to see Keifer Sutherland in another role. His character is similar to that of his "Jack Bauer" character but different enough to still be interesting. I like the unfolding "self realizations." Good plot, some surprises I didn't see coming which adds excitement. I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes but with each one were at least a little longer. Keifer Sutherland is perfect for this role and the confession aspect of the series is new and different to me. The church and confessional bring a quiet depth to this series. I love the flashbacks and hope their frequency increases as the chapters unfold.If I had to sum up The Confession in a couple of words I would say it is intriguing with mysterious depth.
