You know, when one of us here at CraveOnline confesses to murder, it’s usually a somber occasion. But in Byeong-gil Jeon’s Confession of Murder it looks like it would be kind of awesome. The new action thriller is about a serial killer who confesses to all their crimes after the statute of limitations runs out (which, really, you’d think there shouldn’t be one of those on murder, but whatever, we guess “Cold Case” just wouldn’t work in South Korea). The law can’t touch the killer, but that doesn’t mean the families of his victims – and perhaps even someone claiming to be the “real” killer – can’t make a go of it, leading to this freakin’ awesome CraveOnline Exclusive car chase.
Check it out, and then check out Confession of Murder, now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
Writer/Director JUNG Byung-gil (Action Boys) unleashes endless action and suspense when CONFESSION OF MURDER debus on Blu-ray™ and DVD April 15th from Well Go USA Entertainment. Detective Choi is a broken man, a tough guy cop whose lasting legacy is to be the one who almost captured a vicious serial killer ten years earlier. His failure left him physically and mentally scarred while the killer was left to walk free. When the statute of limitations on the case runs out, a book is released by an author who claims to be the killer. The book sparks a media frenzy, with Choi and the families of the dead left to watch impotently as the killer becomes a media celebrity. But the fact that the law can’t touch him doesn’t mean Choi and the others can’t … JUNG Jae-Young (Public Enemy 3, Battle Ground 625) as the Detective and PARK Si-Hoo (Haru: An Unforgettable Day in Korea) as the author headline the cast. Bonus materials include a behind-the-scenes featurette and interviews with the cast and crew.
