| User Reviewmike hI am usually not the biggest fan of Canadian cinema, but I fell in love with the film instantly, it made me actually wanna go and visit Toronto and wish I was in this cool crime art scene, and hangout with some of these characters. This a rare gem you just stumble across and can't get out of your head, I wish I had another film I could watch that was the same, but alas there is not, this is a one of a kind movie just like a rare art piece you see in an art gallery. Something about this film just resonated with me like when you fall in love with a piece, in a gallery. MOVIE DICK OVER AND OUT |
| User ReviewEmma dA smart, funny and well played movie. Not a piece of art, but a good show |
| User ReviewAndrew SA notorious car thief endeavors to reinvent himself as an emerging artist after being paroled from prison, only to find that his former handler isn't willing to let him go without a fight. Vince (Rossif Sutherland) did the crime, and served his time. Now that he's a free man again, he wants to become a sculptor. When Vince's unusual metal sculptures catch the attention of sophisticated art dealer Belinda (Rebecca Romijn), the former bandit takes the art world by storm. Meanwhile, Vince's former boss Kranski (Donald Sutheland) vows to do everything in his power to get his best operative back to work -- even if it means playing dirty. |
| User ReviewMarilee ACar thief(Rossif Sutherland) turned Outsider Artist, making large Art out of Junk, Car Parts,& Scrap Metal for himself gets discovered when he gets in a car accident with an Art Dealer(Rebecca Romijin) & wants to go straight & just be an Artist, but his Mentor & Boss(Donald Sutherland) just won't let him out.Entertaining, but forgettable |
| User ReviewJanice BThis movie wasn't awful, but it wasn't very good either. The main character is alright, but I just couldn't buy him as an artist/car thief. Like his actual art seemed a little stupid to be this 'hot' new artist's work like they make him out to be. The acting is so-so. Sutherland hams it up to no end and Romijn is flat out horrible like always. Even in her sex scene, she's over acting the moans. Like she just needs to do her lines normal and stop over acting. Sarah Roemer continues to be a plus to any movie she finds herself in. She is adorable here, but her and the lead dude's love story never once feels real. No real action or chase scenes for a movie about stealing cars either. |
| User ReviewJiana WPretty horrendous. The movie feels cheap as heck, like a bunch of college students made it. Rossif Sutherland sounds like a cartoon character when he speaks and the sex scene between him and Rebecca Romijn is an awkward head-scratcher of a moment. |

| User ReviewAndrew HA complete abortion. No plot, hard to follow, horrible performances from the cast. |
