This film will have you muttering oaths of revenge in your car.
I have a serious question for the cast and crew of this film. DO THEY NOT HAVE ACTING SCHOOLS IN CANADA? God, you guys are worse actors than three-year-olds lying about stealing candy.
Here is one mistake they all make and it's hard to watch a complete movie knowing they don't have the skill to pull this off. They all, without exception, put the volume to 10 on their emotions, so that every emotion is expressed to the utmost, like they're experiencing chocolate for the first time. No subtlety at all. No character at all, they could all be playing the same person.
The next mistake is the writing. It's bad. It's very cliche and does something you should never see in a film - it talks too much. Instead it should show. The bad girl TELLS you what she is going to do, TELLS you she's angry, TELLS you why she's motivated to do what she is doing when NO ONE IS THERE!!!. I'm betting the scripts had so much dialogue it was written into the margins. LESS is better. SHOW the character DOING things and leave it at that. TRUST that the audience is WATCHING and don't explain it to them like they are idiots. Too much of this is ON THE NOSE, and if you don't understand that statement you shouldn't be in the business. The fact that it is so means the director is also incompetent, the production staff, the script writer, the actors, none of them spotted it and put up their hands.
The filmography reflects very cheap production values with close shots everywhere, so that you can't tell we're a thousand miles from Philadelphia - a sure sign this film never ran in theaters. It is possible to make a movie cheaply, but couple it with bad acting and a poorly executed story, that's a formula for Canadian gov't subsidized rubbish.
Canada, can you please subsidize acting schools and writing classes for these people as well as their salaries - thanks.
