There Are No Saints (2022)

The Jesuit is the alias of a man who was wrongly accused and became imprisoned. When The Jesuit discovers that his wife has been murdered and his son kidnapped and taken to Mexico, he elaborates a complex and dangerous plan to rescue his son and avenge the death of his deceased wife.I was going to click and watch it the day it became available (today), as a popcorn at home flick, attracted by the cast. And then I saw the name of the writer, Paul Schrader and I froze. I knew I had to save this for a day when I was going to be in the right mood to take in a heavy story. This could be anything but a popcorn movie. The man is guilty of writing scripts for many cult hits, but I’ll name just one and rest my case: “Taxi Driver”. So I can’t rate it, for I haven’t yet watched it, but… expect some substance here, no light entertainment. You were warned!
