This movie contains many Canadian stereotypes. The main stereotype in the movie was the hockey theme. In the movie people are murdered over hockey teams 'selling out' and moving to the states. The movie takes the hockey loving stereotype to a whole new level. Also having English and French speaking cops working together emphasizes the the fact that Canada is a 'bilingual' country.
I found that this movie reminded me of an American made movie. Even though the movie was very Canadian, all of the violence and shooting reminded me of an American movie. Also, the editing and overall look of the film was not as bad as other Canadian movies I have seen.
The movie probably did better in Quebec since there was a lot of french humor in the movie that people who do not speak french would not understand.
I don't think Americas or other foreigners would appreciate this movie since it may be hard to understand the french humor/content. Also the movie makes Canadians seem like obsessive hockey fans who would kill for the sport. Overall the movie makes Canadians look insane...
In my opinion the film was not very good. The beginning was very slow, and it was confusing when the languages kept changing. Also, the acting was a little cheesy at some points throughout the movie. Even though the movie was not that great, the special effect weren't bad and the ending had a lot of good action. All in all, the movie was cheesy and not worth watching.
