Una película que entretiene más bien por despertar la curiosidad si va a continuar, que por disfrutar explícitamente de ella. La actuación creativa de Keitel es brillante, pero el barro en el que va cayendo carece de la emoción de la trama. Tres estrellas, pero por los pelos, quizás solo gracias a la memorable escena con las chicas sin carnet de conducir.

Keitel’s magnum opus. A sophisticated perversion, indulging in everything immoral, bad and evil. This confrontation with a religious-flavored case eventually culminates in an ingeniously conceived and, in the overall context, completely useless confession. Sure, it’s disgusting, but in places painfully truthful.

The film is shot as a gritty street film, it is somewhat reminiscent of Scorsese's "Taxi Driver". It's as if there is nothing good on the streets, as if filth and disgust truly reign. The connection with religious visions is then strange and somewhat disturbing. It's understandable with Scorsese, but even with Abel Ferrara, who comes from a similar environment and has Italian, primarily Catholic roots. Nevertheless, this doesn't change the fact that the rawness of the streets is in an unnecessary and unpleasant contrast that won't say much to an atheist. However, Harvey Keitel delivers a performance that you will admire and maybe even hate.
