We meet young priest Reverend Jud Duplenticy (O'Connor), who turned to Christ after he killed a man in the boxing ring, assigned to the small parish in upstate New York. It's here, in a house of God, where an impossible murder plays out like a biblical miracle. Arriving in the quaint village, Jud is met with the fiery wrath of Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin). Jefferson immediately sets the tone for Jud's new priest tenure with detailed confessions of his masturbation sins.
The new film is based on Richard Osman's bestseller about four unlikely friends in a retirement home who meet weekly to solve cold cases.

Dame Helen, 80, Brosnan, 72, Imrie, 73, and Gandhi star Sir Ben, 81, lead a stellar cast in the Steven Spielberg-produced whodunnit.
