A car thief who works for the cops while stealing from criminals who might also be cops. What?
The rather convoluted plot follows Santiago, a car thief and supposed electronic genius who works undercover for the police and is attempting to shut down an auto theft ring. Various crime organizations are involved, each plotting against each others. To complicate matters, several law enforcement branches are also competing against each others.
Practical Effects
Real car stunts before CGI ruined everything.
Production
Montreal doubling as... somewhere crime happens?
Director
Christian de la Cortina
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Christian de la Cortina cast himself as the lead, his brother as Don Pepe, and shot this while still in film school. Nepotism? Ambition? Both.
This is peak mid-2000s Canadian genre filmmaking—desperately trying to be American crime cinema on a budget that couldn't afford Los Angeles, so Montreal becomes 'anonymous industrial city.'
