Confession of Pain (2006)
Reviewed by: Sydneyguy on 2007-07-24
Summary: i confess, its average!!
They try to make a movie thats a little different but unfortunately it doesnt work!!

Tony Leung looks aged, im not sure if thats on purpose!! Takeshi kaneshiro looks great, but that was from all the females i know!! Chapman To always play his roles with little effort. Shu Qi is there to look pretty and act ditzy, a normal role for her. Yueh Hua looks real old, but then again, he is!! Its good to see a shaw brothers legend on the screen. All the actors play there characters well, its just the story!!

Did Tony Leung do it or not? Your not quite sure whats happening, could what you be seeing some type of dream sequence or is it something else. This is the most intriguing part of the movie. But that isnt saying much

The movie feels like its going through the motions, nothing much seems to happen and when they do, it feels like a let down. A cant believe Hollywood wants to re make this, just shows you Hollywood really has ran out of ideas, because they must be desperate to take this!!

The movie is watchable, set your standards low and maybe you wont be disappointed!!
