A return to urban sleaze by master of the genre Abel Ferrara. A NYPD cop (Keitel), in debt due to drugs, alcohol and gambling addiction, is intrigued by a big money reward in the case of a raped nun. Harsh, powerful, but filled with a religious orthodoxy, this is a reminder of the director at his best (Angel of Vengeance, Driller Killer).
