Abel Ferrara's dark cop drama got released in its original NC-17 edition on DVD and VHS. But there's also an edited R-rated version available on VHS that misses out several of the more or less explicit sex scenes, the rape sequence of the nun and more critical plot elements. The R-rated version features instead another version that can't be seen in the NC-17 version.
While investigating a young nun's rape, a corrupt New York City police detective, with a serious drug and gambling addiction, tries to change his ways and find forgiveness and redemption.
