First off i want to say, what do you expect from a bunch of pot smoking Canadians?
Secondly, ..... Hang on I'm looking for the right sequence of words to address this..... wow, is it okay to point out that many negative infractions about a movie than border lines criminal?
Cast and crew should be taken out in public and Caned.
I hope this is ten lines because i cant think of anything else to say except save yourself the time and don't watch this movie, it's horrible! I will re-iterate ( still not 10 lines) save yourself the trouble
find something else to watch

There's nothing decent to be said of this film. Well, there are a couple of actresses who are easy on the eyes. However, other than a few pretty faces, this film is inauspicious. I am unable to come upon reason to suggest this film to anyone.
Although, if you are one who is able to realize a farcical value in such enervating films which suffer; unpropitious lighting and sound; unsightly or unimaginative set and costume design; languid scripts containing often nonsensical, diaphanous or practically nonexistent plots (porno plots); vacuous and often nonsensical directing which acts to only further disquiet and confound the often exanimate, diffident, unseasoned or untalented actors who have likely been left nonplus and prostrate in the wake of a tenuous or execrable script, then this movie may be just what you're looking for.
My wife enjoyed this movie. She said it was so bad that it was funny. I think her to suffer a slightly skewed perspective.

Okay, this is the first movie I have ever reviewed based on the trailer alone.
When the trailer started out, the tone of the narrator's voice gave me high hopes for a superb schlock film. But alas, as the tedious minute and a half wore on it became apparent this did not live up to the reputation of quality schlock; it was just plain bad.
It's not often one can judge a movie from just the trailer, but at about the 45-second point I became judge, jury and executioner, quite confident in my decision to NOT turn that wasted time into an hour and a half. All I want to say to the producers of this film is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for releasing a trailer and saving us all from spending our time attempting to watch the actual movie itself.
Up until this film I thought spoiler trailers were a bad thing.

OK, I read the existing review of this movie, (Batman meets Daredevil,) and thought what the hell, I'll give it a try and ignore the score.
That was a BIG mistake as this film is truly terrible. Bad direction, camera work, lighting, sound, acting and script. Sometimes you really have to wonder how these things get made when there are so many talented people trying to make it in the industry. Mentioning either Batman or Daredevil in the same sentence as this movie is an insult to them both and I have to question whether the reviewer was involved with the movie in some way. (Apologies if you're not and just have really bad taste in films.)
Don't get me wrong, I love a low budget movie as much as the next guy, but it has to be good and this definitely is not. With so many other movies out there I'd give this a wide berth. Try watching Defendor or Super instead, two really great low budget movies with an interesting take on the whole superhero genre.

Because at least they had some level of acting. This piece of crap has to be one of the worst Pictures to be ever produced. Brett Kelly can't ever stop can he? What's more astounding than that they released it at all, is the fact that it got INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION and got DUBBED! I wouldn't even wonder if they did the French version themselves (It's a Canadian production after all). The "actors" are probably some neighbourhood friends of his, who all shared the same dream of becoming famous. Well, it would've succeeded if they went into the Porn-Business. And that's basically everything theres to say about this movie. It's so boring that my review doesn't even reach the required characters, so let's do a bit of filler, shall we? There are low-budget movies that turn out to be big successes (e.g. Friday the 13th), there are low-budget movies that are so bad they're good (e.g. All of John Waters' early films) and then there's Brett Kelly Entertainment, the most boring, cheapest, worst kind of movie there is. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go and watch "Lion and the King 2" (or was it 3?).
