    A hidden little crime gem
    A really pleasant surprise of a TV-movie when I picked up this. Unlike most unknown TV- films this immediately got my attention, due to a stunning performance by Mark Harmon.

    The film starts with it's main premise. A priest starts off his first late night radio show with an idea of giving redemption and forgiveness to people who call in and admit their sins. Obviously this goes wrong. A killer calls, admitting to have killed a woman.

    Nothing sensational about this, but the film manages to be both cozy and creepy at the same time, being well acted by all involved. There's actually quite some star power in the film, as well, so that's no surprise. It's also well filmed technically, and has a good music score. What the film manages, is to set a an interesting premise with a good mystery pace, and with the creepy feel giving a great glimpse back to the nineties best crime noirs.

    So if you are abler to catch this little forgotten gem, then do.
