Full Confession<\/em><\/strong> comes to DVD through the Warner Archive Collection (MOD) and is presented in its original 1.33 full frame aspect ratio which looks fine but there are numerous amounts of scratches and other film damage. The Dolby Digital Mono track also has some flaws with pops and hisses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OVERALL \u2013 2.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Overall, Full Confession<\/em><\/strong> is well acted and the noir-ish like style looks good, but the screenplay writing is a bit much as is the overly dramatic scenes, particularly the \u201cbig\u201d finale. The DVD release offers so-so video\/audio transfers and sadly, no bonus material.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
