So this is a direct remake of a Korean thriller that came out a couple of years ago. Unfortunately it doesn't quite live up to the task. Though if you haven't seen the original you will probably be susprised by a couple of things and may be able to add 1 or 2 points to the 6 I gave this. But only until you see the superior original will that hold up.

The acting is decent and there are small changes to the original, though none improving on what the original did. I know I've stressed that a couple of times, but I just want to make sure, people know it, before they watch this. It's up to you to go back and revisit the other movie or just go for that one to begin with. I'm pointing in that direction, so you can enjoy the twists and turns with a higher quality overall. This one is overall decent ...

'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.

Confession of Murder 2017 is a crime,thriller movie remake from a South Korean movie with the same name about a book written by a serial killer exposed his past crime that raise a lot of attention not only from the cop but also from the media about whenever it real or fake.As a guy who already watched the original i think the remake do it justice while adding more stuff here and there make it very interesting when comparing to the original.If you like this movie please watch the original first for a more impactful twist
