Confessions of Pain Synopsis & Summary

A police detective and a private eye find that nothing is what appears to be when they team to capture the murderer who killed the cop's father-in-law in a thriller that reunites The Departed star Leonardo DiCaprio with Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Monahan. As with The Departed, Confessions of Pain takes its cue from an original film by powerhouse Hong Kong trio Alan Mak, Andrew Lau, and Felix Chong. - Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
