Veteran actors Guylaine Tremblay and Guy Jodoin headline director Bernard Émond's grim tale about a struggling directory assistance operator who takes decisive action after falling into dire straits. Réjeane has just been downsized as a result of corporate restructuring, and this harsh blow couldn't have come at a worse time: her husband Gilles (Jodoin) is currently on the mend from a massive stroke and the couple desperately needs money to pay his medical bills. When Réjeane learns that the president of the company that laid her off is earning $16 million a year, the injustice off seeing so many of her co-workers rendered destitute by the downsizing lights a fuse within her that will not be extinguished. Later, while being questioned in a police interrogation room, the stoic seeker of justice proves unable to summon the words to justify her drastic actions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Strongly evocative of an old film noir but punctuated with '90s style violence, this dark Canadian detective drama centers on a renegade ex-police detective who tries to find the identity of the enigmatic man who has been threatening his life. High strung, edgy Detective Marceau loses his job with the Montreal police department when while walking through a darkened train yard filled with abandoned cars, he observes a department colleague tooting up with a pair of coke dealers in a battered caboose. Something inside Marceau snaps and without flinching he shoots all three in cold blood. Afterward, he quits the force. Six months pass and he wanders by the academy one day. There he spies Camile, a cop-in-training who cannot bear to use a gun. He decides to help her accept the violence inherent in policework; in exchange he wants her to act as his body guard while he tries to find the would be killer. His main suspect is a psychopathic child molester, Boule de Pool. Meanwhile Marceau and Camile begin to get closer until their passion violently erupts in the caboose one night. Despite their newfound love, Camile is deeply disturbed because Marcel's nerves have driven him to the brink of madness. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
