This mini-series consisted of 10 episodes originally aired online on Hulu last year. It is definitely a slow burning drama thriller which gets amazing performances from both Kiefer Sutherland and John Hurt. It takes place in a church confession but also features flashbacks in the story. The episodes fit really well as a movie but it only last about an hour. This film is simple and includes great dialogue between the leads and packs a story which slowly unravels leaving you on the edge of your seats.
The story revolves around a hitman (Kiefer Sutherland) who goes into a confessional to discuss his crimes with a priest (John Hurt). The hitman tells the priest that he has killed many people and reveals that he will kill tonight, unless the priest hears his confession. As the hitman confesses all that he has done, we features flashbacks that lead up to the thrilling finale.
The extras are really worth the purchase of this disc and run almost 40 minutes. Since the disc consists of episodes previously available online, good extras are a must for this. There are four exclusive never-before-seen episodes includes on the disc, which were excellent. There were four promotional featurettes with cast and crew interviews, short but sweet. Lastly I really enjoyed that each episode has a great behind-the-scenes included, which gives great insight into the production.
