Cuba Gooding Jr is a troubled cop in Toronto who can't get past the death of his wife and child. He crosses paths with a young kid named Mike who is being used to sell drugs for some local dealers and the kid wants out but they won't let him go. Mike takes one of several statues which is made out of heroin to be sent to LA and gives it to a priest at a local church (Christian Slater) and the dealers need the statue to complete the deal. That's pretty much it. Cuba and Slater put in very good performances in my opinion as does the dealers father (Kim Coates.) I noticed some mistakes though as much of the movie is filmed in Ottawa. The arena is actually the home of the Ottawa 67s junior team and the former AAA Ottawa Lynx baseball stadium is visible when Cuba meets Coates for the exchange at the end. The factoids were pretty meaningless too. All things considered though I did enjoy the movie
