Disclaimer: This review does NOT contain any spoilers, the cast and writers manage that all on their own.

This is one of those shows which make you sorry that zero stars isn't an option. It might have been okay without the ludicrous and intensely irritating Cartoon Kiwi, clumsily over-acted by Emily Corcoran (don't ask me, I've never heard of her either - and I don't think any of us will after this either). It's presumably aimed at fans of the interchangeable "Murder in Paradise"/""Madame Blanc" etc series but this one achieves the seemingly impossible by being even worse than those.

Move along, folks - there's nothing to see here!

...to this movie but it's difficult to see what it is, apart from perhaps that the Canadian army apparently contains too many unprofessional, naive idiots who think that holding a gun, or being a junior unintelligent officer, means that they get to decide what happens and to whom. Thank goodness it's fiction, but can the world be sure that there is no truth behind it?

Whatever possessed Keeley Hawes to take a part in this rubbish - was she THAT desperate for money, or was she worried that her fans might forget her? Even in her unbelievable role as a hit-woman, and despite the amateur dramatic level of the script and screenplay, she easily outshines the wooden actors around her: even in such dismal company Freddie Highmore deserves a shout-out for yet again amply demonstrating that he can't act or even deliver lines with the slightest hint of conviction.

Skip this nonsense - it honestly isn't worth wasting a moment of your life on; it's a pity that a negative star score isn't available.
