This is another film produced in Saskatchewan, filmed mostly in Saskatoon. What it has going for it is good cinematography... what it has going against it is a thin and somewhat baffling plot. It was half over before I figured out what was going on.
We eventually learn that the main character, a low-life drug-addled criminal, was once a well-off suburban woman married to a doctor. She's trying to get revenge against her drug-dealing thug of a boyfriend who tried to kill her... but then there's a subplot about her trying to reconnect with her family from her former, happier life. I felt like I was only being told half the story. How did this woman fall from her suburban existence into this seedy underworld? How did she become entangled with this guy in the first place?
The film seems unsure of itself. There are some action sequences with guns firing and cars exploding. But it's also peppered with "talky" scenes where the woman is trying to earn forgiveness and redemption. It can't decide whether it's an action movie or a relationship movie... and ends up being unconvincing as either one.
