I was not expecting this. I just happened to be on a movie channel as this was starting and it sounded interesting by the description. I started watching and got into it because the acting was good and the lead character was flawed yet complex (he's an a-hole with a soft spot, nicely revealed in a scene involving a furry friend). Soundtrack was amazing with the trance-like feel. I did feel that there could have been stronger reason his best friend did what he did, initially, but it was plausible, I guess.
When I read it was Canadian, I was all: "Whaaaat?" Great Canadian Cinema! Nice, disturbing twist! I guess what was not said or shown was more powerful in a sense that the filmmaker maybe wanted the audience to think more and fill in what was not shown on our own.
The lead actors were really believable and I hope to see them in something again. Oh, and the camera work was top-freakin'-notch!
