In a word, pathetic! A bunch of Canadian actors trying to play US American militia and doing so without any charisma whatsoever. I watched this over the course of three evenings as I could not endure viewing it in one sitting. Why is it that Canadian movies rarely, if ever, use Canada as the backdrop of the story. Telefilm Canada obviously needs to re-evaluate its requirements for tax credits given to film producers that Canadian tax payers ultimately pay for. I digress . Essentially, this is a story of "Armageddon" however, not with the big screen production values we're used to but, with a YouTube fan film production, or just slightly better. Have zero issue with strong female characters however, why do strong female characters have to be empowered at the expense of the male characters. Do directors and producers really feel the only way to make a womans' character strong is to weaken her male counterpart? Really? Isn't that rather sexist to both genders? Next, I don't know why Kim Coates, who is otherwise a great actor, would associate himself with this tripe. Bad move Kim. This is some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Holly Deveaux should really plan on a fall back career, perhaps as a pole dancer, as her acting is just awful and so unrealistic. Amber Marshall is the girl from the CBC's "Heartland". Amber, may I suggest you go back to the heartland, leave the acting to real actors please. I'm not familiar with the other actors , so I'll just say their performance is lacking at best. Perhaps this is the product of terrible directing as well. And it is awful. One and a half million dollars was the estimated budget for this movie, and it shows in every aspect of this film. The money would have been far better spent giving it to a charity. It always is however. So, if it's late one night and you can't sleep, watch this movie. NO. JUST KIDDING!. Stay in bed , your dreams will probably be far more entertaining and with better continuity than this garbage.
