C
Irish-Catholic brothers Tom and Desmond Spellacy chose ostensibly noble
professions — Tom (Robert Duvall) is a cop, Desmond (Robert De Niro) a priest — but
neither is a stranger to corruption. Tom betrayed his badge years ago
working as a bagman for a local pimp (Charles Durning); now he sees
Desmond aiding the crook's dealings with the Church. While True Confessionsboasts big themes (redemption, reconciliation) and big names, the plot
and performances are painfully subtle. It proffers too many details and
not enough payoff.
EXTRAS None.
