Movie Title: Confession Of Pain
Directed by: Wai Keung Lau
Siu Fai Mak
Main Casts: Takeshi Kaneshiro
Tony Leung Chiu Wai
S'pore Rating: NC16
This movie had a very confusing start. It was filmed to leave the audiences thinking and wondering while watching the film, some viewers were so confused that they gave up watching and went to sleep, one such person was my Grandmother. Well, I can't blame her as she is a war film fan instead of mystery movies. This movie is rather sadistic and cold but it has a good storyline. Unlike many mystery movies, this film sets you thinking of why he did it or even, who did it. The start showed many different scenes here and there which really confuses me but as the movie comes to the final closure, everything just fits in place, they do not show you in the movie what happened, you have to reflect by yourself before you go 'ahhh... so thats why... ohh... nowonder.'
Oh yes it also showed the corruption of policemen once again in hongkong. I have no idea why hongkong film makers just love to put their policemen on the big screen and label them as corrupted cops. I mean besides the old movies such as 'Police Story', the rest are often about corrupted cops.
Final Verdict: Great movie to watch.
Rating: 8 / 10
