If I were to describe this film at second glance it would be "misleading." At first glance you have intriguing poster art and synopsis which conveys the thrilling chase of a deranged surgeon. While what truly transpires is nothing of the sort, the likable characters and amusing dialogue make for a pleasant surprise. If not initially let down by the ruse, you will find a simple, perplexing mystery led by a neurotic yet charming gumshoe (Garry Goodrow) and his overzealous partner (Michael Paul Chan). The film's urban aesthetic and lack of blood and profanity even lend itself to a 70's cop show. While more fitting of episodic television than feature film, it certainly wasn't a complete waste of time.
