Movie “True Confessions”1981 DeNiro Duvall

Another movie idea I picked up from Screen pix.

True Confessions 1981

Robert Duvall and Robert DeNiro.

"In 1940s Los Angeles, Detective Tom Spellacy (Robert Duvall) probes into the savage murder of a woman found dumped in an empty lot. At the same time, he investigates a priest found dead in a whorehouse. Spellacy's brother (Robert De Niro), a Catholic priest, is meanwhile attempting to expand his church through Jack (Charles Durning), a shady contractor. While the two police cases and the real estate deal seem a world apart, Spellacy discovers an insidious connection involving money and power."

 

This one is a bit gory as it's about a horrid crime and implicates religion in it. But I thought it was excellent.
