Trivia

Many of the scenes were shot at the Duché de Bicolline, a Live Action Role-Playing (LARP) compound in rural Quebec, during their annual Great Battle event. The director commented that after the production manager accidentally "rammed his pickup truck into the Echo of an extra", they tried to make it up to the extra by giving him a bigger part (one of Murtagh's enforcers).

User Reviews

If Ratings Were Budget Dependent This would be a Gazillion

I gave this movie a 8 out of 10 which in my book is a good movie. If this movie were rated along the budget then it would have a gazillion. I am surprised that they could make such a good quality movie for 300,000 CAD. I did not think it was possible.

The flaws of this movie is that some of the story line is missing to you. A big budget movie would have flashbacks or some other mechanisms to fill in the blanks. For a low budget movie like this flashbacks or time filling pieces just add to the costs.

What I appreciated is its originality of story line. There are definite some surprises along the way where I was thinking, "ok now you surprised me." I also appreciated that this movie is pure Quebec Canadiana, though I wonder what the original language was? I am in Switzerland and I could only listen to the German track.

This movie is definitely something for movie buffs as you will appreciate the details and story nuances.
