CGiii Comment

The most astonishing fact about this film is that it won 13 Genie awards - did they watch the same movie??!

Every 'actor' delivers their lines in a mumbled, muffled monotone. It's excruciating to listen to...and watch.

For a supposed action film...there's not much action.

Bloody awful.
