Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsThe movie was set in New York (shot in Ottawa). There is a reference to a "mickey" which is uniquely Canadian slang for a 12 ounce bottle of liquor. If you asked for a "mickey" in a New York liquor store, you would be greeted with a blank stare.

Featured review
A good natured lampoon on a minimal budget
Diorio, Kaulbars and Lalande have taken a tongue-in-cheek look at the gangster film genre through the medium of an ultra-low budget film. They blatantly rip-off and overplay every cliche they can fit into its 81 minutes. Happily, they often twist these to give them a different appeal. The violence borders on near-Monty Python a la 'The Pirana Brothers' sketch.
If they have not convinced anyone of their ability to put together a film, they ought at least to win credit as location scouts; they have done a better than passable job of making Ottawa look like a U.S. city - no mean feat.
The film is mildly flawed and uneven in spots but, if you know the genre or know Ottawa, it is worth a look.
