About Confessions of an Action Star
A 'mockumentary' on the rise and fall of Chip and Dales dancer turned martial arts action star, Francis Allen Sledgewick, AKA Frank Sledge. When fame and fortune caused Frank to lose his sense of what's truly important, he realized he'd have to get in touch with his roots, if there's ever going to be a comeback.
Directed by Brad Martin, Confessions of an Action Star leans on a strong ensemble — David Leitch, Holmes Osborne, Ben Stiller — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2005.
