[Editors note: projectcyclops had a similar reaction to the film when he saw it at Eiff.]
With a title like High Life, it’s doesn’t take a genius, or even watching a trailer, to give you an idea what Canadian director Gary Yates’ new film is all about. But just in case…
It’s 1983. Bank machines are being introduced into the banking system and individuals are still carrying their pin numbers in their wallets. Dick is a reformed convict, a bad guy with a drug problem (morphine, it’s legal and the “intelligent addict’s” choice drug) who is trying to live life straight. His buddy Bug, gets out of jail, comes to see him and sends Dick’s pathetic existence into a tailspin. Dick puts together a crew (which includes his buddy Donnie and the pretty faced Billy) and a plan which seems to be perfect.

If you like films about bank robberies, you're probably waiting for the release of High Life. The film will come out in some Canadian cities on January 15, 2010.
The story is set in 1983 right after the birth of Automated Teller Machines (Atm). Dick (Timothy Olyphant) just got fired from his job as a janitor at a downtown hospital. With his buddies Bug (Stephen Eric McIntyre), Donnie (Joe Anderson) and Billy (Rossif Sutherland), Dick plans to rob Atm machines. Besides, he wants the job to be done without violence. However, things don't go according to plan.
Finally, High Life is directed by Gary Yates (Seven Times Lucky) and written by Lee MacDougall, who adapts his own play which won a Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best New Play. Moreover, the film features the music of Three Dog Night, Creedence Clearwater Revival and April Wine.

[Our thanks to Andrew David Long for the following review.]
Based on the play of the same name, High Life is a smart, smart caper flick featuring not-so-bright criminals. In 1983, finding a weakness in the procedures around the newly prolific Automatic Teller Machines, a group of mostly-ex-con junkies plan a "victimless" heist in which they hope to score tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, when planned and executed by guys whose grasp of reality is near-constantly waylaid by a chemical cornucopia, is any plan perfect? Dick (Timothy Olyphant, ranging far from Deadwood territory) is the mastermind, at least when he's not trying to steal his ex-wife's car or scrounge for a little more morphine. His ex-cellmate Bug (Stephen Eric McIntyre in a strangely sensitive portrayal of a hot-headed killer) is willing to go along with Dick's plan, though he doesn't exactly work well with... anyone else, really. Round out the gang with considerate pickpocket Donnie (Joe Anderson) and charmer...

Rating: 7.5 out of 10
I must confess that for some reason I've always quite liked Timothy Olyphant, he's made some terrible choices over the years, but I rate him as a good actor and a likable screen presence. Here, he's the reluctant leader of a group of misfits who stage a bank heist in the America of 1983, and it works really well.
Olyphant plays Dick, a hospital janitor who's done some serious time in prison, and only just managed to get his life back on track, albeit with a continuing dependency on morphine ("The drug of choice for the intelligent addict"), for which a job in a hospital can be useful. Out of the blue, his old cell-mate Bug (Stephen Eric McIntyre) turns-up and manages to get him fired. Bug's a tough guy with a...

Crime comedy movie from director Gary Yates, "High Life", has shared a look into the film via its first trailer. Timed at 01:39, the trailer previews how Dick and his pals plot the perfect plan for one last heist. It also teases how they cannot stand being around each other and serves to be a hilarious portrait of male-pattern stupidity.
Teaming up Timothy Olyphant, Stephen Eric McIntyre, Rossif Sutherland and Joe Anderson as Dick, Bug, Billy and Donnie respectively, "High Life" follows a group of morphine addicts who has enough of botching jobs and racking up prison time for years. Having planned on one last perfect heist, Dick is faced with one major problem, his crew is so rife with fear and loathing.
If keeping them from killing each other is not hard enough, he has to get them to the bank with all the miracle he could get. Written...
