Rating:
In Last_Rites a serious thriller on a sensational topic, a priest falls in love with a woman he is protecting. Father Michael (Tom_Berenger), a priest with family ties to the mob, helps a woman on the run. Angela (Daphne_Zuniga) is the mistress of a murdered Mafia Don, now being hunted by hitmen hired by the Don's infuriated wife. As Father Michael realizes he is falling in love, both his faith and his vows are severely tested. Directed with restraint and respect for the subject matter by Donald_Bellisario, the film still caused controversy and was criticized because of love scenes between the priest and the woman. Despite this criticism and despite the fact that the film is somewhat slow and predictable, Last_Rites has fine performances by its cast and is an entertaining thriller. Linda Rasmussen, Rovi
