La pareja de "Roberts" que protagoniza la cinta hace que todo lo demás quede en segundo plano. Simplemente por ver trabajar juntos a Duvall y De Niro ya compensa con creces su visualización. El grado de compenetración que alcanzan ambos actores hace que pasen perfectamente por hermanos.
In 1948 Monsignor Desmond Spellacet, a judicious, ambitious monsignor working at the behest of the worldly Cardinal Danaher, is deeply involved in church-sponsored real estate development projects, all of which are very profitable for the local Catholic diocese. He has an edgy, uneasy relationship with his gritty, quick-tempered older brother, Detective Tom Spellacy of the LAPD, a one time bagman for corrupt builder Jack Amsterdam. Despite his murky past and iconoclastic temperment, the homicide detective has a strong sense of honor and resents the hypocrisy of Amsterdam and other members of the establishment. The brothers' paths cross when Tom covers up the death of a prominent Catholic priest in a local brothel run by madam Brenda Samuels, who has history with both the detective and Amesterdam. Tom's path again crosses his brother's when he investigates the gruesome homicide of a young prostitute whose body has been cut and half and thrown in a deserted lot. Circumstances cause both brothers to have crises of conscience as each tries to attain redemption and regain self-esteem.
