Featured review
I found this movie very interesting, but not very well written, I was scratching my head many times and mouthing "what" as each unexplainable action of the Canadian police took place, or opportunities were ignored!
As an American, I didn't understand the hierarchy of the police departments, as information was passed from one authority to another. I, also, didn't understand why they were transferring personnel because their time spent in that area had expired, even if they were in the middle of an investigation. And, does Canada REALLY have so little money to support their police? All of these things were happening while people were being killed!
The movie is an indictment of the Canadian police establishments. And, if it is an accurate, I worry for the Canadian people!
I hope someone will rewrite a movie about this crime spree, because it has the potential to be a great movie.
