      Is it the hand blade? Or put him on trial?

      I wrote the above title because I have been thinking about this question during the viewing process.
      According to the emotions of ordinary moviegoers, of course, including me, I can't wait to kill this bastard murderer in the future.
      In the end, when the police stopped the victim's mother trying to kill the murderer, I can't wait to go into the movie and kick this useless policeman a few times, you are too fucking useless! Did not know that the following plot took a sharp turn, the...

      Unreasonable becomes reasonable, yet feels unreasonable

      The various details at the beginning and the layers of foreshadowing in the middle paragraph will make the viewer wonder why the police officer would go to great lengths to save a mortal enemy, and the reversal of the ending makes everything reasonable. While watching the movie, I couldn't help but wonder, what exactly is the law? Tool or Shackle? Because a fifteen-year period has turned a murderer into an innocent citizen, binding society to admit its innocence. The film shows a lot of...

      worship of ignorance

      Leaving aside who the murderer is, the most thought-provoking thing in the film is that the murderer (although everyone knows it is fake in the end) has won the support of some members of the public because of his handsome appearance, and even has a fan group. This reminds me of Tatsuya Ichihashi, the sensational Japanese disguise killer in the past two years. The Japanese man who brutally raped and killed British female teacher Lindsay Anne Hawke in 2007 was arrested in 2009. During his more...

      Story interspersed with gimmicks

      I only watched it after seeing the rating of 8.7 on Pippi. At first glance I saw that I was a murderer, and I remembered the memory of murder. Baiduzhi found that this film can be called a sequel to the memory of murder. . . . . . . Well, this is a rant.
          Overall, the plot is compact, with gc, sensationalism, and road chase scenes (this should be the selling point of the show, although I think it's a bit too much). The drama increasingly highlights the incompetence of the police and the...

      full of logic

      I've read too many stories about cops and murderers.

      It's a story about a decadent policeman who numbs himself with alcohol and brings some vicissitudes and depression. I have seen countless.

      But every time I see this kind of subject, my heart will be pulled.

      The reason is very simple, a murderer kills people, but because he can never be caught, cannot be sentenced by the law, cannot comfort the victim whose bones are cold, and cannot comfort the anger of the...

      The perfect opening reality show-like process also satirizes many social phenomena. The pervasive reporters are like flies. As long as they look good, even the murderer will have fans. ps: DNA can also be detected from the saliva on the cigarette butt, but it was ignored~ The shot: Police officer Cui rescued the author and the author's injury changed from the left face to the right face, and then changed to the left...

      The climaxes are repeated, the suspense is constantly ~ Several reversals are amazing! The downside is that it's a bit too much to catch criminals in the...

      The part about chasing the murderer at the end is a bit redundant. Xiaoqiang can't die no matter how much he falls. It's better to just click or arrest him after the truth is revealed. Overall the story is...

      The three action scenes are all a bit lengthy, especially the last one is completely redundant. If you delete it, the narrative will be much more...

      The action scene at the beginning is brilliant, and then the plot is too...

    Movie plot

    There was a serial homicide that took the lives of several women 15 years ago, but the prisoner was always at large. Until the day the lawsuit expired, a family member of the victim jumped to commit suicide in front of the criminal police responsible for the case. For this reason, Detective Cui Xiangjiu has always been brooding, unable to forgive his incompetence, and left horrible scars on his face to punish his inaction.

    Behind the scenes gags

    The prototype of Li Doushi is the Japanese ogre Sagawa Kazumasa, who became a best-selling novelist through his autobiography of murder.
    There is a scene in the film where "Li Doushi" attends his new book signing event, and his supporters and opponents gathered on the scene. And these extras are performed by more than 100 fans of Park Si Hoo himself. Although it was staying up late to shoot and the temperature was very low that day, the...

    Positive review

    "Confession of Murder" is another sharp attempt by the new Korean director Jung Byung-gil. This film gives a mystery and hits the audience with a shocking and bloody answer. It can satisfy the audience who only pursues visual sensory stimulation, but can also tap the deep meaning. On the one hand, the "murderer" who has passed the hunting statute has returned to the world, and the gimmick of becoming a popular public figure has caught...

    Negative comments

    The biggest attraction of the film is the highly difficult action scenes. Especially, the racing scene with Li Dou-seok running is memorable. The thread that leads the development of the whole story is somewhat inadequate and rough. Although there are key plots of reversal, it failed to bring the finishing touch to the film. The way the protagonist retaliates is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the action scene in...
