Great movie about life, and little mistakes that a child will be pushed into making huge, that just happens to be Canadian. Though slow to start, this is a very well acted and directed movie that has a great look and feel all the way through. The town feels real, and the people really feel like they are from this town. I honestly found it very easy to relate to the characters in this movie, every one of them, like personalities of one mixed up mind. This poor kid makes the simplest mistakes, and a decade or so back that would have been it, but times are changed, and people have to take everything much more seriously so there must be consequences. Think Bad Boys with Sean Penn but more contemporary, and far less rapie. The real meat of this story though happens half way through and all the way to the end, once our hero finally really takes his first steps towards joining, and stops rebelling. I was impressed with the over all feel of the movie, and there were some very good tense scenes that were dealt with very truthfully. I obviously really Enjoyed this one, and I know once you get past the slow start, it's one you will remember long afterward.
