Review of True Confessions (1981) by Jc S — 26 Nov 2009
True Confessions, theoretically sounds great. A period crime film based on the Black Dahlia starring Robert Deniro and Robert Duvall. Sounds like it's gonna be good, but it was really a disappointment.
It seemed very dated. It just seemed to drag on and on. It was very slow. The performances were good but other than that, I didn't like it. The film is about two brothers, a cop and a priest, who are both somehow involved in a crime case which is not called the Black Dahlia in the movie but you can tell it's the same.
It was very loosely based on the actual case because in the film it says the woman was kind of a whore going from man to man and making numerous sex tapes which is odd because I never thought there were sex tapes in the 40's when really the real woman Elizabeth Short, dated for dinner so she could eat.
I don't think she cared to much about sex. It was boring and not that great. FOUR STARS!
