True Confessions DVD

Academy Award inner Robert De Niro and Robert Duvall star in this extraordinary tale of two brothers caught in a web of deceit surrounding a heinous murder. Co-starring Burgess Meredith and Charles Durning, this well-acted and carefully reconstructed 1940s crime drama is one of most entertaining, most intelligent and most thoroughly satisfying American films in a very long time.

Monsignor Desmond Spellacy, a rising star in the Catholic Church hierarchy, has a talent for fundraising that is matched only by his level of piety. When his brother Tom, a hard-edged cop, finds that a suspect in the murder of a prostitute may be one of the church's prime benefactors, he asks for his brother's help in catching the killer. Although Desmond is torn between his loyalties to the church and to his brother, he chooses to join Tom in a desperate search for the truth. But as the brothers edge closer to the killer, they face a flurry of political finger-pointing and back-room deals that rock the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church and lead them to a chilling, climactic conclusion that will have you on the edge of your seat!
