Low-level Mafia button man Davide (nicely played by Giovanni Martorana) and former criminal turned priest Father Leonard (a fine performance by Danny Glover) cross paths on a train. It turns out both men are trying to get away from the sins of their past.
Director Carlo Fusco relates the intricate flashback-ridden plot at a constant pace, maintains a tough gritty tone throughout, and offers a provocative examination on the underlying theme of sin, regret, and the basic human need for redemption. The solid acting by the able cast keeps this movie on track: Michael Madsen as the ruthless Don Mancino, Steven Bauer as Leonard's ex-partner William, John Savage as the helpful Father Carol, Cassandra Gava as the vengeful Debra, and Mario Pupella as the fearsome don Michele. Worth a watch.
