Movie where man breaks church statues?

i remember watching this movie back in like 2010, from television when i was around 11 years old and now im looking for it.
I dont remember much about it besides there was a scene where the main character(?) smashes church statues with an axe. if i remember correctly some letters were also important part of the movie.
genre was crime if i remember correctly.
ive trued finding it but i dont have much information so its hard. been lookibg for it over a year.
