slow but good performance from Speedman
Edwin Boyd (Scott Speedman) is a WWII vet driving the bus. He has Hollywood dreams. He feels trapped in his life with his wife Doreen (Kelly Reilly) and his kids. One day, he simply walks away from his job. Money problems pile up but he keeps his acting dreams. After overhearing more putdowns from his father Glover (Brian Cox), he goes rob a bank and tells his wife that he got an acting job. Detective David Rhys (William Mapother) is put on the case. After getting caught, he is unrepentant. He escapes with fellow bank robbers Lenny Jackson (Kevin Durand) and Willie ‘The Clown’ Jackson (Brendan Fletcher). With Val Kozak (Joseph Cross), the crew wrecks havoc across Toronto.It’s a slow prodding movie in the beginning. The colors are drained from the screen. It’s like a world seen through Edwin Boyd’s eyes. It’s a tired world that justifies his need for excitement. It’s an interesting choice by director Nathan Morlando. It brings a coldness to the world. However if that’s the point, I would expect more colors after he starts robbing banks. I’m just guessing anyways. Without a doubt, Speedman is doing some good work. It’s a nice small Canadian drama.
