THE CONFESSION is a tale of unique redemption and an exploration of good and evil featuring a hit man (Kiefer Sutherland, 24) and a priest (Academy Award® nominee John Hurt, The Elephant Man). On Christmas Eve, the hit man enters a church to confess his sins. Through a series of gripping flashbacks, the Confessor's journey is revealed, laying out what has brought him to this moment and leading to a climax where his chance at ultimate redemption hangs in the balance. While at first the Confessor seems to be an evil, cold-blooded killing machine and the Priest the ultimate arbiter of good, as time passes, it becomes clear that both men are much more complicated than either could have suspected.

From 24 hours to 60 minutes. A hastily put-together "side story" about a hitman who, after decades, wanders into the church of an aging priest to engage in a philosophical debate on crime, punishment, guilt, and repentance. In the confession area, Kiefer's voice from the phone booth materializes into the form of Jack Bauer, who occasionally cuts a flashback to the uncompromising action. The format of six-minute segments suits it surprisingly well, and it has an unrelenting momentum and several surprising moments. A juicy snack.

The curious Kiefer has been captivating so far during the first three chapters. Hurt's priest is just pretty shaken up so far, but he's trying hard. The plot may be heading for some interesting dialogs. We’ll see. It's interesting that there's never been anything quite like this before. At the same time the subject matter is so simple… Why? Another two chapters with no names and no answers. However, the priest doesn't seem to be a complete saint, and perhaps even the killer is not the pure evil that is the subject of The Confession. The series holds the viewer’s attention throughout. You can cut the tension with a knife. I want more... Luckily, the sixth episode is high quality enough to excuse its uniqueness. The tension in the revolver scene could be cut like a knife. Too bad about the weak cliffhanger... The seventh installment with an unconventional kill is pretty satisfying, and the viewer’s sympathy begins to flow towards the killer. I mean, he's like Dexter mixed with Jack. How could we have a problem with someone like that? Episode eight is perfection itself; when the priest confesses it is spine chilling, especially when delivered so flawlessly by John Hurt. The cliffhanger was really worth it this time round… The last double episode didn't disappoint - the flashback is definitely one of the strongest moments of the series. The end has just the right punch. An excellent project and an excellent story, which fits this fragmentary structure beautifully. Why?
