Small budget Canadian film does good
13 February 2022
I didn't know I was about to watch a Canadian film but right there, in the first scene, the talk is about going to Kelowna for an abortion. No American would know where Kelowna is, but I as a Canadian certainly do.

Shot in Revelstoke (the extreme skiing capital of this country), the scenery is fantastic. BTW: if you don't know what province I'm talking about yet (or what a province is), you're not from around here.

It's all about how 2 brothers initially perceive each other, one supposedly a looser and the other supposedly successful, and how that changes as the truths to come out being stuck together. Turns out the successful one has a few downfalls while the looser has many undiscovered strong qualities.

What makes the movie interesting is the successful guy keeps thinking he's right about everything even when he's blatantly proven wrong. The looser takes some big chances that prove to be the right moves like lowering his brother down a cliff. If I were the one being lowered I'd be freaked out too.

In the end, they truly are brothers and not so far off. Worth the watch where only a few have watched.
