The Ministers is a 2009 movie starring Harvey Keitel, Florencia Lozano, and John Leguizamo pulling double duty as twin brothers. Until today I had never heard of this film which is unsurprising as, according to Box Office Mojo, it's theatrical release only included two theaters and it made a grand total of $4,447.
So, what's this one about? Well, the basic setup is about a rookie detective named Celeste (played by Florencia Lozano) whos father was murdered when she was teen, with the killers leaving only one piece of evidence; a religious pamphlet. Fast forward 13 years and the killers have started up again. Seeking justice for her father, Celeste and her partner Bruno (played by Harvey Keitel) are on the case to uncover the identities of these murderers. Then things get really interesting when Celeste becomes romantically involved with a man that turns out to be one of the killers.
This one isn't a bad movie, but it isn't great either. It's only about 90mins long but, it's stuffed with a few too many twists and turns, it never gets all that tense and the film often just seems to meander from plot point to plot point.
Entertaining enough, but not worthy of a recommendation.
I give this one a 2 out of 5.
