Full Plot Details

In New York, Detective Alberto Santana comes with his partner Joseph Bruno to meet his wife Gina and his daughter Celeste to celebrate her eighteenth birthday. Out of the blue, Alberto is shot in his head on the sidewalk by a man wearing a hood that delivers a religious message from the Lord. Many years later, Celeste is a detective of the New York Police Department and partner of Joe Bruno. When the crooks Alden and Jeff Kane, who had torched their buildings to receive the insurance, are released from prison, they are executed by two criminals in the same modus operandi of detective Santana, and the police department concludes that they are the same killers. Lieutenant Diaz assigns Detective Manso and Detective Demarco from narcotics to investigate the case, for the deception of Celeste. Then the drug dealer Chino and his gang are executed in Manhattan's Lower East Side by the killers Dante and his deformed and deranged twin brother Perfecto, and Lieutenant Diaz teams up Joe and Celeste with Manso and Demarco. Meanwhile, Dante meets Celeste in the church and they date first and have a love affair. When Perfecto decides to kill Joe, Dante argues with him but the dysfunctional brother does not listen to him.

DVDTalk.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfMinisters doesn't thrill or enlighten (the religious slant to the material dries upon application), leaving Franc Reyes with another clunker to his name, and another film deep into his mystifying career.
New York Daily News - 3/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanDoes John Leguizamo need a better manager, or does he just have terrible taste in scripts? Because aside from voicing the "Ice Age" movies, he wastes too much time on misfires like this one.
User Review - 8/10 by Mariana BI'm not so much for religion, and often tend to think that films with much Religion is very bad. But understood that this movie would have a great deal of Religion itself, as in The Boondock Saints. The only bad thing in the movie was the love relationship between the police and the villain. Otherwise the movie was good and did't reminde so much about The Boondock Saints, which I thought that it would.
User Review - 6/10 by Pavan RFinding the voice of "Sid the Sloth" too much to take this seriously.
User Review - 6/10 by Juan BIts a Wanna be boondocks saints !! Hella wanna be
User Review - 6/10 by Pieter-Jan VLow budget and somewhat uneven thriller fare. Emotionally charged, in spite of so-so acting and direction, and downright out-of-place music at times. Harvey Keitel delivers, as always - as do several others - making this a decent effort.
User Review - 6/10 by Victoria KHorrible reviews across the board but I oddly enough really liked this movie. ;)
User Review - 6/10 by Victoria ADidn't expect the movie to be as it turned out but ended up really appreciating how the director/writer pulled it altogether in the end. Although it was clear the various story lines were connected, the ending was rather unexpected and atypical.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul LWhile it's not the type of movie I had been led to believe, it's also not nearly as dreadful as I was expecting. Still, the movie is plagued with plot holes, gratuitous drama, a protagonist with shitty acting talent, unexplained transitions, and poor execution. The direction isn't too bad, but most of the actors/actresses just can't pull it off decently. Only John Leguizamo and Harvey Keitel, obviously, had solid performances. But that was a given. Everyone else, you fail at life. So far as story and plot goes, it isn't as cliche as I feared and the ending for me wasn't easily guessed.
User Review - 6/10 by Charles SGood plot and story idea, mediocre execution.....
