Very clever and crafty., 10 July 2005
10/10
Author: Nick Damian from Toronto, Ontario

Wow, I'm amazed at how cool this film was. The entire construction of plot, character and general build is just amazing.

What I do not like about it is that the town is supposed to be Everett Washington, but is actually Vancouver, British Columbia.

While I think that the entire film is just awesome, the setting should have been Vancouver. It is just very obvious.

The buildings, streets, general layout all points to Vancouver...the train station, sky-train, buses and Chinatown/Gastown all reads Vancouver, so why not just call it Vancouver.

That aside, what a magnificent film, cast, crew and writers. I am really overwhelmed by the entire package, and yes...I knew who had sent the briefcase, but no...I was not expecting the murderer to be who it was, although I had a suspicion.

Very clever, very crafty.

It just comes to show, that there are still some creative heads in the film industry with original ideas.
