What happens

McCanick is a 2013 American crime-drama mystery film directed by Josh C. Waller, written by Daniel Noah, and starring David Morse, Mike Vogel, Trevor Morgan, Ciarán Hinds, and Cory Monteith. This was one of Monteith's final feature film roles along with All the Wrong Reasons - both films were released at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival a few weeks after his death. McCanick had its theatrical release on March 21, 2014. Critics responded negatively to the film's derivative, cliché-filled plot and direction but were positive towards both Morse and Monteith for their performances. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
