The Jesuit: "hyper-violent criminal reign of terror"

Oh.  Wow.  I wonder how we went from "peace and justice" to...well, read it yourself:
Soon, though—if Last Temptation of Christ filmmakers Paul Schrader and Willem Dafoe have their way—the Jesuit name could carry another connotation entirely: hyper-violent criminal reign of terror?

From ComingSoon.net:

In The Jesuit, a man comes out of prison in south Texas: “Neto” wants only a new life, far removed from his violent past. Just when it seems he might regain his wife and ten-year old son, she is brutally murdered and the boy kidnapped. Neto must abandon his dream of happiness in an explosive return to methods that made him the most feared man in Texas, and earned him the nickname … the Jesuit.

Say what?

...What’s next? A Franciscan hit squad? Outlaw bikers called the Knights of Columbus? An international crime lord known only as “the Thomist”?

How about a thriller about a serial killer who plays Russian roulette with his victims, called Pascal’s Wager?

Whatever. Hey, who’s looking forward to Shrader’s follow-ups, The Mullah and The Hasid? Your thoughts?
The comments are an absolute hoot.
