True Confessions is a fascinating insight into the corruption among mélange of clergy and gentry during the mid
40's in Los Angeles.
Right in the middle of it is the cop brother of a well-respected but morally corrupt monsignor who puts the pieces together.
Although the homicide case of a one-time porn actress looks unsolvable, it still doesn't stop the interest of what's being
uncovered as time goes on.
The heavyweights of the cast are Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, and Charles Durning who give excellent performances.
Added into the mix are Burgess Meredith and Ken McMillan. Throughout are many neo-noir traits that aren't any different
from Chinatown but on a smaller scale.
All in all, True Confessions is worth watching.
