There Are No Saints is a revenge movie. And that’s the most one can say for it.

Starring José María Yazpik as ex-con hitman Neto Niente, aka the Jesuit, and helmed by Alfonso Pineda Ulloa (his first English language feature), the film follows the gang-affiliated killer as he is released from prison after a repentant cop’s deathbed confession undoes his case.

There Are No Saints was notably penned by Paul Schrader of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull fame – but more on that in a moment.
