review by
Mike Haberfelner

Father Peter (Colm Meaney) is just about to close up his church when an armed man, Victor (Stephen Moyer), with a bullet wound storms in and at gunpoint forces the priest to lock all doors. Now Father Peter is clever enough to do the armed man's bidding and merciful enough to tend to his wound - even if he before long has to realize the man won't last all that long without professional treatment - which Victor categorically refuses. Having patched up Victor as good as he can, Father Peter makes him tell his tale of woe, which involves a killed wife (Rachel Summers) and an estranged daughter (Sadie Jean Shirley). What neither man knows though when they're having their heart-to-heart is that there's a third person hiding in the church, Willow (Clare-Hope Ashitey) - and she's not just anyone but the very woman who has shot and wounded Victor in a shootout. Eventually, she does make herself known by knocking out Father Peter and catching Victor by surprise, and before he knows it, she has handcuffed him. It turns out she's a policewoman, and she has the credentials to prove it. And according to her Victor is a policeman gone rogue and risen to the level of a crime kingpin, and she has come to arrest him. Now truth to be told, Victor's entry into the church hasn't exactly made him look like a law-abiding citizen, but there are several weak points in Willow's story, like why has she come without backup to arrest this alleged crime kingpin, why is she threatening a priest with her gun, and why does it seem she's more interested in killing Victor than arresting him. So eventually, Father Peter has make a decision as to where he stands between the two of them ...

 

Almost entirely confined to the church and the adjoining office, and to its three lead actors, Confession is really a film that makes the most out of its limitations, as it manages to tell a tense story from beginning to end, with many unexpected twists and turns, and one that's really carried by its leads, who all give very strong performances, of course also supported by a very fluid direction that gets the most out of the limited sets and keeps things visually interesting throughout. And all of this results in pretty cool genre entertainment.
