Featured review
'Memoirs of a Murderer' is a Japanese remake of the 2012 South Korean film 'Confession of Murder'. The editing is very good. The acting is very good. Unfortunately, the film was not as impressive as 'Confession of Murder'. The reveal was not as effective, and I didn't quite enjoy the film's climax as much.
The film illustrates how some people become celebrities due to media coverage. Here we have a cop filled with regret and hatred, family members who wants justice, the media who wants to cash in, and a fraud with a genius plan. If there was nothing to compare it with, it would have been a good watch. Much rather watch 'Confession of Murder', though. There was no need for this remake.
