Review of The Timekeeper (2009) by Hugo S — 23 Jun 2010
Great Canadian film that looks at the rough and tough of those who worked the railways in the 60's. A young man leaves his hometown after his father dies to work on the railways in the Northwest Territories where a hard as nails boss works to get a 52 mile railways finished in 52 days. After Bishop.
(Craig Olejnik) angers his boss, he sends him out to live with the other outcast workers in the forests of the N.W.T. Definitely an interesting insight into what being in the middle of nowhere can do to ones mindset, as well as the control needed to survive such a landscape. Although usually not something I would watch, I think it was the initial story that interested me, this movie was based on the book of the same title, so if you are interested in seeing the movie but are unsure, you can check out the novel beforehand.
