This room baffles me. Srsly. In the scenes with the nice psychologist lady the room looks different - unfortunately I can't go back and study it right now, on account of being at work - but I think the computer and the copier show up in a corner during one of the scenes with her. I'm sorry my memory isn't better, but I'm sure they're in there somewhere, 'cause I went back to study the "appliances" shown in the film, as I was having a hell of a time getting a handle on what decade this thing is supposed to take place in.

See the toaster on the coffee counter? Right next to it, that thing that looks like a double bubble of pretty chrome could be a 1960's era Sunbeam Coffee Master vacuum coffee maker, so putting that together with the furniture and the telephones... but then outside the police station everything seemed way more modern, and then I saw the PC and the copier in the corner, and I pretty much gave up. Sigh.

Yep, that's all quite puzzling. I guess I decided it was your typical Saskatchewan University principal's offices or something. I definitely have to rewatch now /n\ - to have a look at that computer, y'know. *sighs with you*

Callum tries hard to begin with, but by the end even he looks like he's wondering how to get the hell out of there.

Ha! Sadly though, I have to agree. The ending is... uhm. Yeah.

On IMDB page, the runtime for the Brazilian version is 145 min. Deleted scenes?

55 minutes of deleted scenes? O.O (It's probably just IMDB being totally wrong again though.)

Rennie has had numerous supporting parts in various Canadian-shot American films and tv shows and is almost certainly due a big breakthrough part some day soon

... Sigh.

I was convinced that he was the bad guy and mistook his hints at being interested in the heroine for psychopathic tendencies

Hee! Me too. I mean, come on, it is surprising that he isn't the bad guy. I also agree that she didn't seem to be interested at all. On the upside, I hate it when movies have to have romance in them, because, you know, in real life people don't fall in love all the time. And it tends to take away time from the actual plot. So, well, at least that didn't happen in this case? Ahem ( ... )

That kind of movie is maybe one of the reasons Callum delights in playing bad guys - probably more fun! Specially the ones where he dies in the end - at least, he doesn't have to, you know, pretend or whatsoever. I mean, pretend he's pretending, cause acting is pretending, I guess?

...Sigh
*pets you* well, he's kinda having that breakthrough now, even if it's not soon enough, and even if it didn't came with his previous best performances, right?

Hee! Me too
Too good to be true - that's how we feel after all the creepy roles he's got stuck in...

in real life people don't fall in love all the time
would get boring :)

Ahem
*echoes ahem*
