Rating: 1/10 (28 April 2007)

Some say this movie is dark. No, night is dark, this is darn right bleak! Now I like the cast and the whole film noir look to it or as they call it today Neo Noir. But there are several things that I can't get around, things that I can't suspend my disbelief over. The days of beating a false confession out of someone died a long, long time ago. In this day and age, even if Internal Affairs was also in the Cardinal's back pocket. There's still the Press and the FBI. Besides that, if he's killed in the electric chair, then how can he be narrating the story? What he's telling God his story. Then there's the Senator in the Bruce Willis story, how can he do that? When the President, the most powerful politician in the world can't get away with a simple break in or banging a chubby intern? He can't! He'd never get away with hiding a pedophile Progeny. There's also the grim look at the Church, this is way to dark for me. I look for some ray of hope in my movies. THE NOOSE!
