Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

... View MoreI don't think this Movie was completely bad, but I think it could have been so much more. I feel it had a good premise, but the idea's needed to be developed on more. I won't write plot as this has been covered already but what I will say is development in a story is very important. Although the story line still progressed I think it would have made the movie more suspenseful, which I feel it needed in order to rate better. There were some good Scene set ups, but again they seemed to fall short in development before moving on, I was thinking I want e.g. more close calls. I enjoyed the relationship between Jessica and her Mum, the manipulation that was apparent. I think It had the most development in the story and helped me to understand Jessica's Character. The main antagonist in the film. I think what I wanted from this movie was more of a showdown between Jessica, Renee and Cameron. I think Characters whose reputations were on the line would have fought to cover up more, they weren't as intelligent as you would expect for corrupt characters. It had all the makings for an excellent Crime drama. Jessica had so much more potential, and while she was good I don't think she was excellent.
... View MoreI watched the trailer on 13th Street and was looking forward to a bad film that would still have a true milf in it, namely Jamie Luner. It turns out they put in only the most becoming shots of her in the trailer, because mostly she looked very tired throughout the film. Tired, as in: not such a good nip and tuck job. And there a couple more such people in the film, none of them being very good actors (understatement).For the rest of it, this wasn't the bad TV-movie as expected, it was way worse. Boring, silly, unbelievable, those kinds of adjectives, and lots of them. I don't know how exactly Canadian tax dollars are involved here (read that in another review here on IMDb), but that would truly have been unfair to the hard working people of Canada, for sure.2 out of 10, because of my sympathy for Jamie Luner in spite of it all.
... View MoreThis is not a bad film. But I have given it a low rating because it is yet another of these Canadian conceived, Canadian produced, Canadian shot, Canadian tax funded movies that cravenly ARE SET IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!! It is demeaning, embarrassing, frustrating and self- defeating. It is one thing when American companies come up here to shoot their own movies. But it is INFURIATING when Canadian film makers do not have THE GUTS to set their stories in Canada. They and the government justify it by claiming that it creates work for Canadian actors and film makers and that it is necessary if a film is to be sold in the US. NONSENSE! The Australians seem to turn out some pretty good product that is set in Australia. In this case, Ottawa was used as a set for a sort of ill defined New York City with American cops, American license plates, the American FDA and that surefire giveaway: American flags all over the place. Why didn't these billious wimps have enough self confidence to set their story in Toronto where there is indeed a sizeable pharmaceutical industry. (The story is about FDA approval of a dangerous new prescription medicine.)
... View MoreAs a Canadian, I am used to seeing these awful movies that our tax payer dollars pay for.But after my 47 years on this earth, I don't think I have ever seen a movie worse than this.Everything is bad. The main characters are abysmal actors. And the supporting cast is even worse.At first this felt like an after school special meets a soap opera. But then it just got worse.It isn't even visually pleasing. The main character looks like a squinting duck. And she is cast as the attractive one. What enrages me is that my tax dollars went to make this visual abortion. I clicked on 1 star, only because that was the lowest I could rate this. I don't know how this movie could have been worse. It is the poster child of how not to make a movie. I want to meet the film maker, and beat him. My tax dollars made this. Why??????? I am disgusted that my tax dollars went to make something worse than a high school production.
