This is yet again another Canadian film trying desperately to seek the middle ground so that they can cash in on both US and American markets which are so substantial. A quick look at the credits demonstrates that nearly every single name is French. Fine. But the FBI. That's what got me. This is supposedly a US film. I have to hand it to the folks who handle continuity. They were good. Except for "sooooorry" you couldn't guess it was Canadian. Except you could. Throughout there were differences which are readily apparent.
This was shot on location in Canada. Canadian films have a different vibe to them. That would be fine but why the ruse? Why pretend this takes place in the US? Or that we're using the FBI in some sense.
Then the weak link between the FBI and a DOD case. Except for border cases the FBI doesn't generally operate outside the US and DOD people are DOD people; FBI are FBI. If any US Agency would investigate this it would probably be the DIA. The Defense Intelligence Agency but that would be a stretch.
In general FBI doesn't get entangled in US cases either unless there are cross state lines type issues or a small laundry list of federal versus state issues. They stay as far away from DOD stuff as they can because they just don't have the necessary credentials to work with DOD without a lot of effort.
The storyline is so weak. And it was predictable. The characters in the storyline were weak and underdeveloped. The events of twenty some years before didn't add up. The exposition was so poor that one couldn't tell why someone was murdering until about 2/3 of the way in. That's just bad writing period.
I wish Canada would produce Canadian crime movies and leave American crime movies to Americans. Also can we please regrow the US film industry - Canada's is very robust and we don't need it. Let them make their own and let's make our own and everyone will be richer for the effort.
