I was flipping through channels, and found a movie on called Foolproof (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0356614/). Since I had nothing better to do, and the description made it sound all right, I decided to watch it. And I have to say, I was very VERY impressed. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
The story begins with 3 friends who plan robberies together. They will case a store/building, find all the security systems, do all the preperations, and attempt a fake break-in (using equivalent technology, and timers for guard patrols and stuff, but at another location). However, they end up being forced to plan and commit a real robbery.
The way the story unfolds, and the way the characters develop, was very impressive. From the beginning right to the end, I was glued to the TV.
At one point, they showed an envelope full of money. I was thinking to myself, "Those look like Canadian $100 bills...." so I looked it up and, sure enough, it's a Canadian movie. I feel so proud today! :)
"I love the one where you tried to figure out how to pinch the Stanley Cup. It's very... Canadian." -- I'm going to have to buy this movie.
Sounds good, I'll check if I have it around.

Haha, yeah, I laughed out loud when they said that. My mom came awhile later and asked if I was watching a comedy, "What's so funny?"
I really loved the way it ended, too, and I loved the way they built tension between the main characters. Next time I go to the store I'm going to buy it. :)
It's checked out at my local movie store, I'll rent it when I see it in there. <3 iago. Thanks for the tip.
I bought it today; cad$18 (that's around $14 for you Americans). Hooray for cheap Canadian movies :)
I went to 2 HMVs, and a CDPlus, then finally found it as Best Buy.

Thats what you get for not phoning ahead!
Well, they're all on my bikeride home from school. It's a long ride. There was still a Future Shop and 2 Wal Marts and a couple other stores :)
Btw, I was going to say, I'd rip it and post it somewhere privately, but we all need to support Canadian movies more, so I'm not going to:P
