Review of The Timekeeper (2009) by Buggy B — 01 Mar 2014
Struggled through this bit of Canadiana and truthfully got more from reading the synopsis afterwards than the movie itself. I think the biggest problem here is that nothing is explained; when is this taking place? Where is this remote location? What exactly is a timekeeper? What railroad are they building? All these things would have helped me get into this movie, as it was my favorite scene involved the men 'dump' diving with bears and the Johnny Cash song played (Long Time) -not a good sign. And what the hell was Roy Dupuis doing here, his character (and fake beard) were a mess. 02.28.14.
"Set in 1964, this indie drama follows Martin Bishop (Craig Olejnik), a highly moral young man, as he attempts to work alongside a railway construction crew in the Northwest Territories. Far removed from civilization and supervised by an abusive foreman, the worksite is a hotbed of corruption that tests Martin's ethical and spiritual fortitude.".
