This film is such an amateurish attempt at film-making. The acting is bad, and not because of the actors but because of the script and the direction. The editing is shoddy at best. The film keeps going off to tangents that end up being irrelevant. The script is filled with clichés, but instead of making an exploitation out of them, they are just presented dried and predictable. There's too many pointless fist fights and not enough plot. It's a flick centering on catching a serial killer. We are never shown clearly what the serial killer wants, beyond a generic "he just hates this people". It's supposed to be a comedy but it rarely makes any sort of joke beyond some childish slapstick or ironic twist (e.g. this character only swears in french, but at then end he swears in English).It's like the people who made this agreed on an idea, but never agreed on what kind of film it was supposed to be. Or they sat around a table writing down what they thought would be cool scenes and just mixed them all together in a mess. It's disjointed and without hardly any satisfying conclusions to all the story lines it's trying to follow.You'll have some fun, it's not the worst thing ever made, but you'll likely get bored halfway. If you do get bored but want to stick through to the end, my advice is don't. Just forget you ever saw it and go watch something more worthwhile.

This movie is probably the best action comedy movie that the Quebecker and Canadian cinema has ever seen! While some other Canadian movies have too much of a regional charming and too many inside jokes that may not convince spectators from other countries, this movie has everything to become a world success. I've presented the movie to my parents, some European friends, some Canadian friends and a part of one guy who was a little bit upset about the violence and sex content of the movie, everyone just loved it and even the critical guy was laughing quite a lot during some parts of the movie.The story is nothing really extraordinary or innovating: A strange tattoo killer searches revenge for people who have sold Canadian ice hockey teams or famous Canadian hockey players to American managers, cities or teams as it happened for example in the real life with the Nordiques de Québec who became the Colorado Avalanches. A first dead body is found exactly on a giant road sign on the frontier between the French-Canadian state Quebec and the English state Ontario. That's why Colm Feore, who incorporates a more serious, down-to-earth and somehow uncool police officer from Toronto and Patrick Huard, who plays an emotionally driven and somehow crazy and naive cop from Montreal, have to collaborate together to find the killer. The two officers couldn't be more different and the movie certainly plays with a lot of clichés, but because of the two brilliant actors, there are many funny elements in the movie and the viewers learn really a lot about the French-Canadian culture and style, but also about Ontario's way of life and the conflicts and main differences between the two states. There are so many little funny scenes, without losing the main story out of sight, that this moving never gets boring. I've seen this film maybe five times and I'm still liking it and laughing a lot even though it's difficult to make me laugh and though I'm more into other movie genres. That's what makes this movie a cult movie: You must not be a fan of comedy to like it because this movie offers something to everyone: action, sex, crime, comedy, suspense, sports, cultural stuff and a good soundtrack - I'm sure that there is at least one point from this list that you may like or be interested in! And while there are a lot of hilarious moments, the movie has some real big action scenes, has a lot of suspense, some little twists caught in between some predictable events, a great showdown in the end and also a great soundtrack with great Canadian hard rock music. A apart of the two absolutely convincing main actors, there also a few other actors who have some nice cameo roles and who are giving something special and really fresh to the movie. Some really famous actors appear like the French-Canadian stand-up comedian Louis-José Houde and there also some convincing young actors who became more famous with this movie like the very charming Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse or the teen star Erik Knudsen.Because of its fresh acting, its unique cultural approach, this movie is different from the typical Hollywood blockbusters, but it's has everything you need for an entertaining movie of this genre. It's a true masterpiece for me! And by the way the best Canadian movie which I know and i Know a lot! And still by the way, it's is really great to see actors, directors and musicians from Ontario and Quebec collaborate and ridicules the clichés of each other's culture to bring those two twisted nations - French and English Canadians - closer to each other. That's why this movie is even more than just a movie - it connects people! And another good thing: Even though this was a blockbuster in Canadian cinemas, everyone accepts the uniqueness of the movie and there is no annoying sequel or remake planned at the moment!

It's a buddy cop movie with some distinctly Canadian humour that's all about hockey. So, pretty much the most awesome movie ever made.There's nothing artistic or high-brow about its supposed 'style', and the hockey parodies are really obvious and fairly unfunny, but it's hard to top this kind of sheer outrageous fun nowadays. The banter between the leads is pretty great, and the linguistic comedy is occasionally hilarious. Still, it's rather embarrassing that this is both the highest grossing Canadian movie ever and the winner of the Genie for Best Picture in its year.Actually, thinking about it, it's still better than Titanic. So maybe not that embarrassing.

This is the most mediocre B Movie I have seen in a long while. Now I know why Canadian Productions can't have any commercial success. If this is the best we can come up with let's wrap it up. It's not worth the taxpayers money. I found the movie a typical Quebec propaganda, sexist where they present females as cheap trash and it is full of warped sense of humor of the Quebecers. Even the violence they've thrown in is not believable and lacks finesse. The plot lines are flat, style and structure lacking with no fresh ideas. The concept would have been great if 15 minutes into the film the Ontario Cop, Colm Fiore character did not revert to the French language and adapt to the French culture. From that point on the differences dissipated. This movie is not bilingual. It is in French, with English subtitles and occasionally some English sentences and swear words are thrown in. You could hear more English dialogue in Bollywood movies. If they really tapped into the differences of both cultures, the idiosyncrasies and obsessions, the wonderfully quirky and off-the wall character interactions, and I don't mean just throwing suspects in the trunk, it could have been a very interesting movie.
