ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Rox73 This movie shows us all what we already know deep down. No one can judge someone else's actions unless he or she has been in the same situation. That's why people should always be careful when claiming "I could/would never do *whatever action*". I can't agree more with Philip Conolly's words:"The world is always easier understood held at a distance with tales of monsters and the like." and "A full belly is prerequisite to all manner of good. Without that no man knows what hunger will make him do."Beautiful nature shots, good music, great acting, great story. It's rather short though but isn't that just the charming Irish, strong, silent type way of doing things? :)Definitely recommended.

Chrysanthepop 'The Last Confession of Alexander Pearce' depicts a horrific account based on the confession of a petty Irish thief. The movie is just about a mere hour long (pretty tight editing!) and yet it leaves the viewer with an unsettling feeling. Filmed beautifully, the natural Tasmanian landscape looks stunning, isolated, unfriendly and unsympathetic. It still astonished me how the characters were driven to participate in such heinous acts. The way it starts by them selecting the youngest member, sends a chill down the spine. Could their criminal past having something to do with the decision-making? Did their time in prison cause them to become savages? Was it all just hunger driven? Some questions also arise as to why Mather didn't kill Greenhill when he had the chance (since Greenhill clearly intended to finish him off)? Why didn't Pearce and Mather run their separate ways any sooner? The use of not-so-well known actors gives it less of a typical movie-like feel. All the actors look and act authentic. Dunbar and Mcmenamin are brilliant in the conversational scene. Given the short running time, I was surprised as to how quickly it finished and wished it was longer. However I doubt whether it would have been as effective.

jmoissen Great story and well told, with good actors and good cinematography.We all think that we are not capable of such monstrous acts, but The Last Confession of Alexander Pierce might have you think otherwise. It attempts to show how an Irish thief came to be a cannibal, and in my opinion it succeeds. It depicts how Man can, given the right(wrong) circumstances, is able to stoop into the lowest regions of the human mind. Given that it is a true story gives it credibility. At least I was left with the thought that had it been me, I might have done the same thing. It is very short though, just an hour long but still well worth the watch.

Geraldine Zechner The Last Confession of Alexander Pearce blew me away... it is by far the most intense piece I've seen in ages. Not in the least gruesome or hard to watch - on the contrary, it is beautifully shot and paced, with a haunting soundtrack and scenery out of this world. You could have heard a pin drop at the preview screening at Clones Film Festival this year. Excellent performances from Ciaran McMenamin, Adrian Dunbar and the rest of the cast. And a true story of complete desperation at the end of the world. The last taboo.... I couldn't decide if the film should have been longer or if I'd seen enough after barely an hour. I believe the latter to be the case - it packs such a punch in such a short time and is so well edited that it's job is well and truly done.
