The film

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.

The Cast

The Real Review

This movie is getting wrecked. Kiefer Sutherland plays Father Joe, a priest trying to take down a mob empire in '90s Manhattan, and Al Pacino is the crime boss, but the idea of a violent holy man feels ridiculous to most people. The story itself is described as a complete mess by nearly everyone who saw it. A few people thought Sutherland and Pacino did the best they could with the material.
