Review
Filmed in Alberta with Canadian born Bud Cort starring along with Quebec born Silvio Narizzano directing, this comes right up my alley for Canada Day. So how is it? It's a decent film that starts off a bit slow but chugs hard with a lot of effort. Bud Cort is a good actor in this film and carries this film along for a good chunck of the film. While the scenery is nothing much to look at it, this film does have some comedy and a good dose of drama to keep itself in check, managing not to be too out dated but keeping itself in tone, not forgetting its roots, which is a good thing.
Overall, I give it 8 out of 10 stars.
