The premise that bruised feelings can get blown so far out of proportion and propel a veteran cop to risk his reputation and jettison his entire career is simply preposterous.

The dour "McCanick" banks way too much on what it is not telling us, making for a movie that thinks it's being cryptically suspenseful but is really just annoying.

It's a shame the script doesn't offer anything beyond loose-cannon-cop cliches.

1/5

A completely by-the-numbers, cliched cop story for its first two thirds, before pivoting to an ending that's shocking but also totally indefensible.

McCanick may have worked as Chief Wiggum's favorite film in The Simpsons, but as a feature film in the real world it fails to convince, and succeeds only in frustrating.

A ho-hum B-movie with an A-list cast. Besides the solid performances, it offers nothing else to hold your interest.

Anti-homophobia is not a guarantee of a nice B movie. (Mauro Lanari)

Moody cop-thriller, which is pretty much all about Morse's mindset. The plot gets convoluted towards its end.

A brilliant and 'important' role for David Morse. Great story about one cop's obsession with a recent parolee. Morse and Monteith give subtle yet brilliant performances. Not the typical action movie one would expect. (2014 hidden gem)

It's awfully sad Cory Monteith's last role was in this pile of garbage.

Overly complicated and confusing and as a result somewhat boring. Not one I would ever want to watch again.
