It felt like he was trying to channel his inner Rupert Anderson (from Mississippi Burning a far superior film) but he's definitely no Gene Hackman.
Also that hellhole motel on 16 Ave just west of Deerfoot. (the one with Len's Den 'pub'). I saw film crews around there a couple of weeks ago so it looks like it's becoming the go to seedy location for movies involving holed up people on the lam/crackheads. Also noticed North Hill Mall, as mentioned, and various downtown streets for the driving scenes.
I thought Jude Law was excellent but the movie overall was a 7/10.
