It is quite hard to dislike a film like “Confession of Murder.” It certainly has its drawbacks, such as its hyperbolic narrative and occasionally silly segments, but it retains a sense of gripping fun throughout, as well as leaning heavily towards easily digestible entertainment. Director Jung Byung-gil’s second effort is thus something which one could pick plenty of holes in, but at the same time certainly walk away from thoroughly fulfilled by.
Crucial to proceedings is detective Choi Hyung-goo (Jung Jae-young), a tethered, bitter member of the police force who is plagued by events which in many ways shaped his life. 15 years ago, he was left by a fleeing serial killer with a scar on his cheek and a lingering promise about reconvening down the line, but with the statute of limitations set to expire and no sign of the man who killed 10 women and took...

"I will kill everyone linked to you." Well Go USA has released an official US trailer for a crazy fun Korean action thriller movie called Deliver Us From Evil, from filmmaker Won-Chon Hong, best known as the screenwriter of The Chaser, The Scam, The Yellow Sea, and Confession of Murder. This is actually more of a half Korea, half Thailand production, as most of the film is spent in Thailand. The film follows In-nam, a hitman who plans to retire after completing one final hit, but finds himself linked to a kidnapping case in Thailand and targeted by Ray, the man whose sibling he assassinated previously. Starring Hwang Jung-min, Lee Jung-jae, Park Jung-min, and Choi Hee-seo. Featuring music by Mowg. This looks super stylish and intense, thanks to a lot of kick ass practical action filmed in Thailand. This looks like it's a must watch for anyone that's a fan...

Mattie Do was born in Los Angeles to Lao parents and relocated to Vientiane, Laos’ Capital City, in 2010.
Laos has been ruled by a strict Communist government since the end of Vietnam War in 1975. Non-propaganda film-making started only recently and when Mattie – who had previously worked as a ballet dancer and makeup artist – returned to Laos, only few filmmakers were active in the country and none of them a woman. In fact only very scarce infrastructure where in place and no official cinemas.
Almost by chance she put together her first feature film Chanthaly in 2013, the first horror film written and directed entirely in Laos, for the launch of the first Luang Prabang Film Festival.
Her second feature film Dearest Sister (2016) was selected as a project at the Cannes La Fabrique des Cinémas du Monde and had the honor to be selected as the Laotian entry for the Best Foreign...

One of the most expected productions of 2017, “The Villainess” by Jeong Byung-gil, director of “Confession of Murder”, had all the prerequisites of becoming one of the best action films of all time. Let us see if it succeeded.
“The Villainess” screened at Fantasia International Film Festival
The movie starts with an extremely impressive action scene, where we watch an unknown assailant attacking swarms of enemies in a building, butchering, maiming, breaking, kicking and punching everyone who enters the scene, in a style identical to the first-person shooters in video games. After a while, the camera is pushed back and the character is revealed to be a woman, while the video game aesthetics remain, as a third-person action this time. After the ending of this scene, and a disorienting cut including a flashback, we watch the main heroine escaping a room she was secluded in, and some seemingly surrealist scenes occur,...

The official Japanese box office numbers for 2018 are not yet in –the Motion Picture Producers’ Association of Japan (Eiren) will announce them in late January – but preliminary figures don’t look great for the home team.
“Code Blue: The Movie,” a medical thriller based on a Fuji TV series, was the year’s highest-earning film at $83 million, according to the Private Life entertainment data and ranking site, but only three of the box office top ten were Japanese. The other two, “Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer,” at $82 million, and “Doraemon the Movie: Nobita’s Treasure Island,” at $48 million, were entries in long-running anime series.
A total of 29 Japanese films made JPY1 billion ($9.0 million) or more. This compares with 38 that passed the same milestone in 2017.

2017 saw a bit of a resurgence in Asian serial killer films. While South Korea gave us a mixed bag of films of the genre like “V.I.P.”, “Memoir of a Murderer” and “The Chase”, Japan remade the South Korean thriller “Confession of Murder” into “Memoirs of a Murderer” with disastrous results. But it was Chinese director Dong Yue’s solid debut effort “The Looming Storm” that managed to stand heads and shoulders over the rest. The noir film featured in competition at the Tokyo Film Festival and won Dong Yue the Best New Director award at the Asian Film Awards.
The Looming Storm is screening at the 17th New York Asian Film Festival
It’s 1997 and while the Handover of Hong Kong is happening in the south, elsewhere the Chinese government is shutting down non-profiting state-run factories. It is in one such rain-drenched factory-populated small town that Yu Guowei, a self-important Security chief at a factory,...

Korean action cinema bursts through to new horizons in the hyperkinetic pulp blade and bullet ballet The Villainess. Equal parts Kill Bill, Nikita, John Wick, Hardcore Henry and Hk-era John Woo, the second film from Confession of Murder director Jung Byung-gil is an inspired but exhausting entry. Sook-hee was brought up to become an assassin by Korean-Chinese criminals but after escaping her situation she is recruited by South Korea's intelligence agency to become a sleeper agent for ten years, after which she can gain her freedom. She thus assumes the role of a theater actress until two men begin to disrupt her life, one from the past and one from the present.

Horror Channel FrightFest takes place in London this weekend. Here's our pick of films to look out for...
Summer’s almost over and what better way to welcome in the spooky season than by hiding from the heat in a darkened room, with five days of wall-to-wall horror? Yep, it’s August Bank Holiday and that means the 18th annual London Horror Channel FrightFest is upon us. For some, this is a familiar pilgrimage. Veterans will be used to bloodshot eyes, numbness in the spine, a lack of nutrition and an acute anxiousness every time there’s a loud noise. For others, it may be their first visit and these are things to look forward to. Either way, FrightFest promises probably the biggest, purest, uncut dose of horror you can endure without going insane, complete with special guests, world premieres, live events and at least a couple of parties.

Warning: You are not prepared for what this movie delivers. I watched The Villainess about a week after I saw Atomic Blonde — which was also part of Fantasia 2017 — and the two have a lot of similarities. On the surface level alone, they’re both about awesome, extremely dangerous women who are working for a shadowy organization, and both movies contain lengthy, seemingly one-take action sequences which are the highlight of the film. In fact, The Villainess has three of those action sequences. But the similarities pretty much end there as Atomic Blonde’s Cold War espionage is more akin to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, whereas The Villainess shares a lot of DNA (including one identical scene) with La Femme Nikita. So while Luc Besson was off making a bloated, sci-fi epic, Byung-gil Jung (Confession of Murder) was reworking the flick that put him on the map in the first place.

The Villainess opens first-person shooter-style in a gangrened subterranean hallway, strewn with filthy wreckage with little context and plenty of enemies, multiplying exponentially and shouting at what is most certainly an intrusion. Bullets are dispensed without fuss, guns reloaded, or swapped for knives in deliberate close-up. The camera has yet to cut, non-stop freneticism, sprays of crimson. Behind every door awaits a batch of new adversaries: befuddled meth cooks in a laboratory or a brigade of besuited gentlemen on an upper floor, each and every one cut down. The body count reaches at least half a hundred before the final door creaks open to a wood-floored gymnasium wherein a dozen menacing goons line up as if for instructed group exercise, brandishing knives in lieu of jump ropes. As in a videogame, no one moves until you do. Just when the jolting action should become repetitive, the camera hurls into the glass mirror,...

“11 A.M.” is a Korean sci-fi thriller with a time travelling theme, marking a change of pace for director Kim Hyun Seok, best known for the hit 2010 romantic comedy “Cyrano Agency”. Packed with the expected mind-bending twists and turns, the film is a high concept affair that revolves around a small cast of popular stars, including Jung Jae Young (“Confession of Murder”), Kim Ok Bin (“Thirst”) and Choi Daniel (“Cyrano Agency”). The film is set in a deep sea research lab, where a team of scientists led by Woo Seok (Jung Jae Young) are attempting to build a time machine, backed by a powerful Russian corporation. Although Woo Seok, his assistant Young Eun (Kim Ok Bin) and physicist Ji Wan (Choi Daniel) have achieved the not inconsiderable feat of sending an object 24 hours into the future, they are abruptly told that their operation is to be shut down and that...

Welcome back to This Week In Discs! If you see something you like, click on the title to buy it from Amazon. Confession of Murder A serial killer ends his reign of terror and disappears into the night, but years later when the statute of limitations runs out on the crimes a man comes forward to claim responsibility and sell some books.

It's dangerous to judge a film by its trailer, but in the case of Korean thriller Confession of Murder, the evidence at hand is pretty damn convincing. A purported serial killer publicly confesses to his crimes after the statute of limitations has passed, with Park Si Hoo (The Princess' Man) leaping to the silver screen as the killer in question, and acclaimed actor Jung Jae Young (The Divine Weapon) plays the part of the detective attempting to solve the case.
