Guns

Oh So Bad
Some of the worst 'acting' ever. Cardboard movement, reading lines from cue cards, bad timing, and fake emotions. The only thing positive to say, shots are well lit and in focus.

Canada's take on guns. From a Canadian perspective, the idea is right, the sentiment right. The execution is just painful. Oddly, nobody even has a Canadian accent. Why everyone sounds like they are from the midwest is incomprehensible. Oddly I watched this DVD while I was in Toronto. Hearing Canadians all day long, the accent was just too shocking.

The story is convoluted. But predictible. It just drags on for way way too long; 2 hours and 56 minutes. I happen to really love Elisha Cuthbert, she is such a bright spot in every movie or television program she's ever been in. She can't eve rescue this series.

it was so so I bought it cuz I like Elisha Cuthbert the movie is good if you like themes that follow guns through peoples lives

Good for a A TV Miniseries
It's not a major motion picture, so don't expect one. It's a TV mini-series and it plays like one. Though the funny thing is it's cast with character actors whose faces you may recognize from major motion pictures (and TV). You know those faces you know but just "can't place".

Ah, Canada. Someone once said, there are only 15 actors in Canada. Well, all 15 are here. Okay, maybe 13. Two of my favorites aren't. (Steve Bacic and Douglas O'Keeffe)

Anyway, it's a decent movie with a good story. There are characters you will care about. And others you will want dead. And the pacing is good. Slow in some places, but nothing to be unexpected given the plot.

The other reviewer had one thing right - this is Canada's take on guns. But in watching it, you don't notice much difference from any major US city. That's until you pay attention to the details. Like, there's constant mention of crossing the border to Ohio. Personally, I was like, "Ohio? Huh?" Then...
