I can live with the endless errors and absurdities because it moves along at a brisk pace. But the story line is far fetched with stereotyped characters although the acting is still pretty good. It must be a challenge to give a good performance when your scripted character spouts clichés and has all the depth of a worn out (Canadian) dime. Here, once more, is a Canadian film doing its best to hide that fact. I'm still puzzling over the fact it was shot in Manitoba but all the cars have (what seem to be) Michigan licence plates. (Nor does the Manitoba countryside looks anything like any part of Michigan I've seen.) Why do Canadian actors continue to demean themselves by participating in these embarrassing charades. If you are any good at the film business, you end up in Hollywood. If you are a no talent writer or director, you do one of these embarrassing, government subsidized Canadian clones.
