    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      While in British Columbia, Sir Ian McKellen developed an obsession with Beaver Tails, a long donut with sugar on it. He told Director Carl Bessai that his character had to have a line with "beaver tails" in it, which is how that piece of dialogue got into the movie.
    • Goofs
      The film was shot in British Columbia but some parts of the action are set in Saskatchewan. In one Saskatchewan scene, there are mountains on the horizon. There are no mountains in (or visible from) Saskatchewan.
