CGiii Comment
It's a love it or hate it kind of film - but, the kid's performance is eye-opening, jaw-dropping and, erm, murderous.
The story is a little shaky, tottering on the implausible...but, it does have a heart of gold and makes pleasant viewing - that is, if you can tolerate the precocious kid.

The(ir) Blurb...
The hockey career of former Toronto Maple Leaf Eric McNally, who was known as a tough enforcer, came to an end with a shoulder injury. He is now a sportscaster. Except to his assistant Nula, what he hasn't told his work colleagues is that he is gay and that he is in a long term relationship with a sports lawyer named Sam. Eric feels that he can't be openly gay as an ex-hockey player or as a public figure still associated with professional hockey. Eric and Sam's life is turned upside down when they take temporary custody of Scot Latour, whose drug addict mother, Julie, recently passed away from a drug overdose. Julie assigned custody of Scot to her ex-boyfriend, Billy, who is Sam's deadbeat brother. Sam is certain that Billy will eventually come for Scot when he learns that Julie's insurance money also comes with custody.
