The Confession

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.

I will not give away spoilers. I just watched Chapter 8 and it was gut-wrenching! John Hurt's performance in this chapter just shows why he truly is one of the great actors of the last 40 years. When Hurt (as the Priest) confesses his sins from a past life, you truly feel his pain. Your stomach will twist into knots and you will want to cry with him. If this was a movie instead of a web-series, he would easily win an Academy Award. Sutherland's performance is top notch. The character is a level or two deeper than Jack Bauer, and although he is an assassin, we feel his pain and we want him to win his fight.

This web-series is the best show that is currently on the Planet earth right now, whether it's TV, movies, internet, whatever.....nuff said!

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.

Its a great thing, Hit-man and a Priest is a great combination of contemporary English literature, Robert Ludlum used this kind of theme in Bourne Series novels. Then Dan Brown also attempted something and there must be many more that I didn't get my hands on. Anyhow, this kind of series is a dream series for people of my generation, and it is very well written and well acted. Kiefer Sutherland is as perfectly cold as an assassin is supposed to be, he is amazing, it is just very cruel of the producers that they are making it so short, if they make it to proper length this series can beat the hell out of all the great shows, in fact after Dexter this is the first time that I really want to see something and wish it not to end.

Hats off to Kiefer Sutherland.
