After watching the movie i did my researches and it seem not a lot is actually true to the real life events beside the main character and the main antagonist. But they mention it at the start of the movie that a lot is fiction for various reasons like protecting real peoples identities and making a more entertaining movie. That out of the way, i will review the movie as such, a movie, and not on how accurate it is. Its been a long while since i last watched a Quebec movie. To be honest i rarely do, because even as a Quebecer myself, i am not really attracted a lot by our movies. Quebec ain't the most populated place and our movies made in french mostly are aimed at us only and maybe to an extent France, but as we ain't big on their accents, they are likely not big on ours. So our movies never get a big budget and therefore they are either comedies or dramas for the most part. I enjoy comedy but a lot less drama in general. I love movies but i am what you would call a commercial consumer. I prefer en entertaining action movie like a superhero movie or a John Wick over a Scorsese movie for instance. That said a story on the criminal underworld is something that interest me more than your usual Quebec drama, and as such it was a fine one, altough its really a character driven movie. Don't expect gun fights, action scenes or stuff like that. If guns are ocasionally used, its never in the vein of an action scene. Everything is base on the characters and the story the movie want to tell and on that front i think it was fine. Its not a movie i would watch a second time or that i can say was extremely entertaining, but its an interesting story and the acting was fine. I knew what i was gonna watch and it turned out to be just that. At 1h45 minutes it had a decent pacing as well. For a Quebec movie its a good one but if you are Americans or such watching with subtiles, you will have to understand its like a super indy movie for you.
