A private eye falls for the mark he's hired to frame—what could go wrong? EVERYTHING.
A crime lord offers him a job to catch his cheating wife in the act. The only problem is Finch falls for the woman (Roberta Bizeau). As well as having troubles with his ex-girlfriend/manager, being set up for a murder, & trying to figure out who done it.
Acting
Kim Coates somehow gives 110% to material that gives him nothing.
Production
Montreal standing in for generic 'crime city' is accidentally charming.
Director
Josée Dayan
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Josée Dayan's only theatrical feature—she pivoted to prestigious TV movies and won multiple awards, leaving Frame Up Blues as her beautiful disaster.
Shot during Montreal's brief 1990s attempt to become 'Hollywood North,' the film captures a very specific era of Canadian tax-shelter cinema—cheap, ambitious, and slightly embarrassing.
