Quickly, I would just like to say that the Wachowski brothers set a precedent with the Matrix series and their ability to see the world outside the box and comment on it in a fantastic and innovative way. Speed racer may be innovative film making but it is fluff and there is far too much of it out there to have great voices go mute. I hope the brothers next effort returns them to glory. The Matrix series asks prominent questions in a glorious way. Speed racer asks what drug should you take before watching. I understand that originality is becoming ever more difficult to present but message and method of delivery must never fade. We may well become as the movie "idiocracy" conveyed.

I caught this film at its Toronto festival release and I have to say that this movie was a very very pleasant experience. This is a story that is all too prevalent in society and still under-addressed. Charlie David's exploration was extremely in-depth emotionally and kept a beautiful balance between dark and light, sad and happy, drama and comedy. I also found the cinematography breath-taking. It conveyed a high production value with an excellent 'polish'. It has a quality acceptable in any market. I hope this allows for it to reach a large audience. I was very pleased with all the actors performances, however, I was most impressed by Dan Payne. His portrayal of Nathan was unbelievably well balanced and vulnerable. I have followed his career for a while and have seen his prowess in the comedic realm but this performance displays great talent I would like to see more of. I highly recommend watching this film if you get the chance.

I was also pleasantly surprised! I enjoyed the plot twists and pace of the movie. I have always been a fan of Dean Cain. And if was very nice to see a large group of Canadian actors in the mix - Thea Gill, Gary Chalk, Stephan Rochfort, Dan Payne. I actually found this movie because I am a fan of Dan Payne from his Sci-Fi work and more recent comedy series 'Alice, I Think' which also stars Gary Chalk in an episode (in which he is brilliant!). So the IMDb is a great tool to help us viewers find good TV. I hope to see more quality MOW's from our Canadian stock! I believe that it was filmed in Vancouver but may have been Toronto. I hope US productions continue to find Canada as the perfect back drop for there films based on US cities. It shows off our beautiful country and stimulates our economy as well as gives us all a chance to ogle famous people in our own backyard. It seems that originality is getting to be a more and more difficult treasure to find. I am glad that the TV genre is still striving more than the Blockbusters to bring us a better viewing experience rather than the cookie cutter material we see the Tom Cruise efforts that chase the ever powerful buck!
