    Robert De Niro is just as convincing as a priest as he is a gangster or a madman. Thought this was a great character played by Robert Duvell. Enjoyed the story, although it was a little drawn out.



    VERDICT: Watch it on tv, don't rush out and rent

    Weak but violent. Intriguing though not truly engrossing. Great pairing of Duvall and DeNiro as brothers (one is a cop and one is a priest) but in the end, you just don't get sucked it.

    I watched this a long time ago, and I don't remember any of it. I've got to give it another look soon!

    This movie had potential, but fell through the cracks. To bad.

    A pretty interesting tale that is not as great as it should be...

    Both Bob's are excellent. That's a given and they don't disappoint. The backdrop of the tale which involves the black dahlia murder case and corruption is really intuguing but the film never really delivers on i...( read more)t's promise. The story felt far more grand than what was portrayed and considering the flicks relatively short running time, this could have benefited from expanding the story and the history of these characters and their motivations.

    This is good stuff but a bit of a missed opprtunity given the talent involved.
