Wonderful character development!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I wonder what induced Kingsley, Irving, Noth and Baldwin to participate in this tripe. Understand their beliefs may have led them to do it, but the next time they have a spare weekend, perhaps they could spend it interviewing directors who have a modicum of talent and originality. It was a toss up for me between the direction and the script as to which was the most banal. The consummate professional cast struggled to give the piece some dignity but it was hopeless from the start. On a lighter note, even the delectable Chris Noth plain-janed himself into obscurity.

It amazes me producers can actually take the time to get past the sixth page of the script, and even worse, tarnish great actors like Ben Kingsley and Baldwin, who, despite their brilliance, could never make up for the absurd proposal of the movie. A good premise, poor executed, with a lousy direction. Simply, a total waste. Watch it yourself, you might be acquainted with the oath doctors take upon their course's completion. In Mexico we have a terrible service in Public Health, however, I've never encountered an E.R. that doesn't take two seconds even on a break to take a look at a patient, plus this opening scene is nothing but as predictable as anything you've ever seen.Watch it yourself, then post your comments. It's a shame this premise can be torn down by the execution of the actual movie. I mostly write positive reviews on the movies I find worthwhile, but this was too much an insult to everyone's intelligence.

I believe this was Alec Baldwin's most believable work in years. I was disappointed with Ben Kingsly, but anybody else would have been worse.It is always good to see a movie that presents an idea that is original. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe this is a remake of a 50 year old movie, but I didn't see that one.Rent it if you are an adult with a child.7/10

The Confession is a moving film about an attorney's struggle to regain his soul. That sounds awfully high-flown, but the screenwriter and the filmmakers handle it with grace and economy. Alec Baldwin and Amy Irving make the material emotional without being melodramatic. There's also a nice legal mystery to go along with the characters' moral journeys.
