Script idea:
Horror/Drama, main character is a Priest in a big city, a low man on the totem pole in the church hierarchy. Father Armstrong (working name).
Armstrong is e priest who takes confession on most days. The local mafia has connections to the church leadership. The Don considers himself a devout catholic and all the 'enforcers' for the don are required to attend confession weekly.
Father Armstrong listens to the most dispicable stuff: murder, rape, torture, just the worst, and when he tries to assign penance or encourage the mobsters to lighten up or, god forbid, turn himself in; the mobsters just laugh at him.
The stress of having to listen to this stuff eventually gets to him and he snaps. Father A. starts murdering mobsters.
- (Action scenes, not in order) -
Hands punch through the screen in a confessional, and strangle a mobster with rosary beads.
Nail gun used to nail someone to a wall in a 'crucifix' pose.
Mobster beaten to death with cane in an alley.
Sniper rifle wrapped in rosary beads, firing from a dark rooftop while Father A. recites scripture.
Car bombs and other explosions set to a musical montage.

I don't know, I think it might work, but I don't have the time or wherewithal to actually produce it myself. If anybody reads this and wants to use these ideas I expect a screenplay credit and at least 25% of the gross profits from the ensuing masterpiece.
Also, I'm available to actually turn this INTO a screenplay, for the right price.
Oh. And I have the absolute best title. I'm calling it:
Sins of The Father
I know, right!?
Tomorrow, lovelies!
