Trivia:

Even though Aaron Ashmore has an identical twin brother who is also an actor (Shawn Ashmore), Aaron played the roles of both twin characters in this movie. His brother Shawn did do uncredited doubling work for some shots, though.

Quotes:

Eric:We're not partners anymore
Twin double:What did you say?
Eric:Things change
Twin double:No, no Eric man, you've changed
Eric:Yeah, that's right I've changed. So should you

AWESOME!

Thrilling!

The director on this one really kicks ass! (hard to believe it's his first feature!) The ashmore brothers are stellar.

Check it out! Well worth it!
