I don't know why people rate this movie so low. I surfed into it accidentally and couldn't look away. I had no idea what the movie was at all, and was mesmerized by the fact that I knew we were in Toronto before seeing any physical markers of that fact and by the fact that Mark Taylor was just so damn attractive.
As I kept watching, I, of course, recognized the resemblance to events in the papers here. The script was good, the casting was really good. I missed the first twenty minutes, but I see that Gary Farmer was cast as a person of Swedish descent, so I guess his ethnicity in this case was a wink to those in the know about Canada's justice system.
I know the ending was probably happier than one could reasonably expect real life to turn out, but as fairy tales go it was beautiful.
And KC Collins grew on me. He is also very good looking and an amazing actor. Watching his face open up as his life does is truly enjoyable.
