Review of True Confessions (1981) by Tom H — 14 Mar 2010
A great story about true love between brothers and their salvation. DeNiro and Duvall playing brothers - it's more than perfect casting and enough reason to watch this film for at least once. Their performances, especially in the scene which they both are in, are great.
The setting is also very attractive - 50s L.A., the two brothers one became a cop and another a priest, greedy and political priests, homicide investigation... It's great to watch this one with "L.
A. Confidential," since this is not only a great human drama but a police investigation mystery. Quite similar to DePalma's "Black Dahlia" in quite many points, but this film is definitely better.
Cinematography is also superb. However, I don't think Georges Delerue (I personally love him as a composer) was the best choice for soundtrack.
