Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

TxMike Very curious movie. Several times I considered turning it off, but something kept me watching. I saw it on Netflix streaming movies.Randy Quaid is Reuban, we don't learn anything about his background but we do observe that he speaks with an Australian accent. He seems to work for a loan shark, as an enforcer. He makes sure debts get paid back.This day he is observing a ratty corner store where we see Jay Baruchel as Andy Hayes buying scratch-off lottery tickets and, once again, comes up empty handed. As he leaves the store Reuban drives up to intercept him. Seems that not only is Andy a bad, compulsive gambler, he has not gotten in debt to the tune of $68,000 and has no apparent way to pay it back. Reuban tells Andy that if he can't pay back the money by 3PM, he may not survive the day. So he asks Andy, where do you want to go, what do you want to see.Except for a small scene at his grandma's house, the movie is pretty much Reuban and Andy driving around, and talking. I enjoyed it at some level, both Quaid and Baruchel are excellent, but overall I can't give this movie a high rating or a recommendation.SPOILERS: At the end of the riding Reuban takes Andy to a secluded place, they get out of the car, Reuban pulls out a gun, tells Andy "this is it" and we hear a gunshot. Reuban has developed an incurable cancer, he shoots and kills himself, leaves an envelope titled "ANDY" and inside is a check for $68,000 so that Andy can get a fresh start. Was Reuban really Andy dad? We don't really know why Reuban has taken sympathy on Andy.

pearshaper Look this film is pretty good. But as an Australian i have to say this. Randy Quaids accent was awful! It confused me why an American was playing an Australian in a Canadian setting? Why did he have to do the ridiculous accent? Why couldn't he be from the states why Australian? He's a good actor.I have loved him since "vacation". The movie is clever and the end is good. There is some great scenery and i got a good feel for the Canadian winter. I enjoy a well written film and this was the only thing was the awful accent. I suppose as an Australian it was that bad. I really couldn't get into the movie because of the crap accent...and that's a shame.

rstone-27 I noticed a posting "Best film of the Toronto Film Festival" -- now that had to be one of the WORST film Festivals I have EVER heard of.Randy Quaid and Jay Baruchel did their jobs as far as the acting goes, but come on??????? --- wheres the story? There is no way on this green earth that a hard ass hit man is going to go that route.This was boring, long drawn out BS.... another total waste of time. -- What is with the film industry today? Has our economy gotten so bad that they have to stoop to low budget crap to infiltrate the market just to give us something to watch? Jeeeezzzzzzz Come ON PLEASE!!!!!!!. How can anyone give this a 10? 3 at best.

tool00800 I recently received a rare opportunity to view this film, and boy am I glad I did. I have never written up a review before, but after seeing this movie I feel like I have to. Just to help get the word out that it exists.The movie starts out with Andy, a complete and utter gambling addict, walking to the convenience store to buy a lottery ticket because he's feeling lucky. He buys the ticket, loses, and decides to go to the racetrack. On his walk there he is approached by the other main character, Reuben, whom Andy owes a LOT of money. Reuben tells him to get in the car, and proceeds to explain to Andy that he is going to kill him today. However, Andy is a guy that Reuben has always been fond of, so Reuben decides to give him 1 hour to do whatever he wants and come to peace with his life, while staying under Reuben's supervision of course. The rest of the movie is about Andy knowing for a fact that he is about to die and how he deals with it. I won't say any more, but I truly thought it had a beautiful ending.The movie starts off with a bang, but it does drag for a few minutes in the middle, which is why I knocked off a point. It quickly picks back up though, and the final 15 minutes will have you inches from your TV. I should also note that the movie starts out rather comedic, but the tone rapidly changes to drama. I felt that the trailer didn't really do it justice, as it focused on the comedy part a bit much. In fact, I almost wanna say don't even bother with the trailer.The movie, as the title suggests, is completely shot in real time. This means that the 73ish minutes that you are sitting there are the exact minutes of Andy's final hour (which is actually slightly over an hour). You see every characters move, every turn of the vehicle, and hear every single word spoken. Fortunately, this is a good thing as the dialogue is excellent, so the car rides on the longer side aren't boring.After the movie movie ended, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it...which kind of stinks because I don't know anybody else who has seen it and I can't talk about it! So here I am, a couple days later, writing a review in hopes of getting the word of this movie out there.The story is great, the dialogue is great, the acting is great, and it's a unique approach to film. My bet is that word of this one will catch on real quick and we'll be seeing it in theaters stateside within the year.
