People who haven't experienced the joy of loving somebody for real will agree with other reviewers who refer to the movie as slow. I, however, love the way that human compassion and love are portrayed in this work. It's wonderfully written, plotted, filmed and acted. The scenery is breath-taking, and for the right viewers, this movie will grip your attention from start to finish. No, it's not about comic-book characters, doesn't have a tremendous amount of car chase scenes, gratuitous sex and the usual garbage present in other films. Patricia Clarkson is one of those actors who carefully selects her roles and is wonderful in this film. Scott Speedman, Callum Keith Rennie, Tim Roth and Aidan Devine are all likewise well suited to their roles and portray their characters perfectly. This film just shows true human compassion in action, and portrays what real love is all about. Give it a chance. It's one of my favorite films.

Michael Ironside did a great job of acting in this one, as did Lisa Langlois (a real cutey.) It was nice to see Michael as the hero for once too, since he has a tendency to play a lot of villains. The plot was straight-forward and easy for me to follow (there was absolutely NOTHING that was confusing about it to me.) I also loved the ending, which I (of course) won't give away. Great camera work, a slew of great character actors. I loved the stadium scene too. Don't let other people put you off on this one. It's a great way to spend an hour and a half.
