i saw this film in a canadian university film history class ( where they make u watch lot of canadian movie you would never pay to see ) . the teacher tell u that this film prove that canada can make a hollywood style cop action flick . i can only assume he be joke . this be a convoluted and out of touch with society mess . it start out with the main character get rap by an inmate then we see him engage in a near pornographic display with a hooker . it become down right hokey near the end when ( spoiler warning ) the main character father suffer a heart attack and be be rush to the hospital and the young man be chase after it . then we have the zoo incident . the father and son decide to go moose hunt so they can experience the good ol day . if this be mean to be a tender scene it sure didnt make me sympathetic to them . they cant find a moose in the city so they go to the zoo and decide to shoot an elephant instead . the way the elephant lie down be pathetic and fake look and i dont see how shoot a cage animal be go to generate any more sympathy from the audience than if they have go into the forest to shoot a moose but that a canadian film for you . strange social custom . i will take a formula hollywood cop buddy flick over this any day .
