Kiefer Sutherland plays a priest who takes on Manhattan’s drug dealers in Barthélémy Grossmann’s new film, ‘Father Joe,’ penned by Luc Besson. The film, set in the pre-internet 1990s, features a unique method of crime fighting involving a homemade virus and mandatory church attendance.
The film begins with gangster Lino taking his girlfriend to a drug lab when Sutherland’s character, Father Joe, attacks, shooting Lino in the foot. Father Joe reveals he is a priest intent on stopping the drug trade, stating, “I’m here to put you back on the right track,” and demands a confession. After the confession, Father Joe injects Lino with a virus that will become deadly within seven days unless he attends weekly Communion at Father Joe’s church, where he will receive an antidote. Other gangsters are also seen receiving a temporary antidote in the form of a blue pill during services.
The operation, which is decimating the local drug trade, attracts the attention of crime boss Giu, who notices a dip in his earnings. Giu confronts Father Joe, is infected with the same virus, and seeks medical attention.
