Father Joe
Set in 1990s Manhattan, the film will see Sutherland play a priest who declares a one-man war on the city’s criminal underworld. Pacino steps into the role of a powerful mob boss whose empire collides with Father Joe’s violent crusade, while Anderson plays a young woman caught between danger and redemption under the priest’s protection.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis one's a miss for most people. Kiefer Sutherland's priest declares war on the mob, but his violent crusade mostly gets panned, with the story called a total misfire. Sutherland gets some credit for the effort, but Al Pacino's mob boss is the clear highlight in a small role. The whole thing feels like a dated knock-off, with many pointing to director Barthélémy Grossmann and producer Luc Besson as the reason it feels so stale.
