Review of Memoir of a Murderer (2017) by Riff J — 20 Jan 2019
A fantastic movie that has an ending that may confuse some. It took a bit of searching the net for theories before I found 1 that made sense. SPOILER: the protagonist did in fact kill the dirty cop, but because his dementia got a lot worse in the mental facility, he comes to the conclusion that he didn't kill the dirty cop and hence his mission is incomplete. So he releases himself from the facility and will now lead a life of hell (to pay for his sins) as he'll be searching obsessively for the cop, who is already dead... meaning he will die thinking he's a failure.
If you a different theory PLEASE let me know by replying. I'm still not 100% certain because wouldn't he still have contact with his daughter, and wouldn't she remind him that the cop is already dead? Idk...
As for a review, regardless of the tricky ending its a very interesting and entertaining movie to watch. The acting was good (the bad cop could've been a bit creepier) and the cinematography was beautiful. I'd definitely recommend this movie to horror-thriller fans, and especially those who like asian movies.
