The story of an Irish petty thief, hanged for murder and cannibalism
24 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
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.
