When narcotics detective Eugene "Mack" McCanick (David Morse) discovers that a seemingly harmless young criminal, Simon Weeks (Cory Monteith), has been released from prison, it triggers a firestorm of paranoia and violence. Mack and his partner, Floyd, mercilessly hunt down Weeks for unknown reasons over the course of one long, hot day. The closer Mack gets to his prey, the more we understand that his frenzy stems from a truth from the past, which only Weeks can expose. The truth is revealed in the explosive finale, an urban chase sequence which culminates in a surprisingly emotional confrontation not just between McCanick and Weeks, but also between McCanick and himself.

David Morse is quite a good bad-ass, and the story gets off to a fairly respectable start. You will have expectations, wondering what might come next. It's actually not bad, and it's quite good because it's somewhat new in its own way, it's somewhat peculiar, and it might give you a little chill. McCanick isn't a great film, but it's good enough to be worth paying attention to.
