Review:
Time for some CAN-CON. For those of you living outside of Canada, CAN-CON is what radio & television stations are forced by the governing bodies to have a certain percentage of their content consist of artists or programs from Canada. So this is my 2nd CAN-CON percentage. Enjoy. So this is another film from Canadian acting superstar Paul Gross. Canada's Brad Pitt..... we'll OK maybe he's Canada's Daniel Baldwin? Either way he's the best we have. Take away the fact that he's only known above the boarder & maybe to a few just over it, he actually is quite the comedic actor, but not in the normal sense of it. He is known for the roles of desirable misfit hero trying to save the day, yet he still throws in slap stick & physical humour all over the place. It's a great change for a western film, the best part is that it is set entirely inside of a small town, with a small cast of characters, very rare but it works perfectly. The supporting cast includes some other great Canadian actors as well as a SUPER SUPER attractive British babe, maybe a slight obsession on my part. Sienna Guillory is such a sexy beauty even as a western frontier woman, still just ugh SO HOT!. You have some killer acting on the part of Callum Keith Rennie, who is such an awesome bad guy searching out Gross, & yet he still has some comedy bleed through. Dustin Milligan another great young Canadian actor, does a very good job of playing the opposite love interest of Gross, searching for Guillory's love. Also in the cast you have the most famous Native American actor probably in the history of acting. Well.... maybe not of all time, well maybe yeah. Graham Greene playing...the token Native guy. Then you have former WCW Wrestler (Big Sky) Tyler Mane, of Halloween fame, playing a role he usually doesn't play of the gentle giant. So yeah, great action, great comedy, everything all good in this one. Oh did I mention that Sienna Guillory is a super hot babe? OK just checking.
