This Canadian movie was probably shown very little in the USA but I read that it was very popular in Canada. My public library never bought it but I found the DVD on Netflix.
The movie is dark because we see the results of several grizzly murders. But there is an overall comedic approach as two cops must become unlikely partners to try and solve the murders and capture the murderer.
Why do they have to cooperate? Because the murder that starts things off has the body draped over the large sign that separates Canadian regions, so in fact the body is half in each district.
The movie has a hockey theme, a disillusioned Canadian fan is upset because Canadian teams are being sold and moved outside Canada. One specifically was rumored to being moved to Houston, Texas. {big Grin}
Anyway a few scenes are a bit too absurd to really enjoy, but overall the writing and acting are good and whether they ever solve the crimes is an afterthought. But they do, eventually.
