Despite the fact, that Stefan Lysenko in the role as Father William looks much too young to have served 1971 in Vietnam this is a very interesting little film with a great cinematographic style.
It is about a conspiracy in the catholic church. Father William, a Vietnam Veteran, who promised to dedicate his life to God when surviving the war, is witness, when his best friend gets murdered. His murderers think, he has told anything to William so they sent out a sexy Femme Fatale (Carla Sofia Lescius in a fine role).
She seduces him and gives him acid so he would tell the truth. Father William is now on his acid trip. When he came back from his trip he finds out more about the conspiracy but falls in love with the girl. Bad for him: Frank Love (William Smith, good as always as the bad guy) and his mobsters think, that Father William knows much more than he tells.
It finally comes to one last showdown ...
Great music, brilliant cinematography, who pays references to Roger Corman's "The Trip", a fascinating but sometimes confusing story and great actors even in the supporting roles. The bad guys here are the best actors from the US-Independent scene: William Smith as mobster Frank, the always great Joe Estevez, Robert Z'Dar (who gets killed much too soon here) as Dino in a very funny role, Airwolfs Jan-Michael Vincent and Timothy "That's my Bush" Bottoms.
This film is really worth to watch. Give it a try!
