Based on the life story of Canada’s most famous criminal Edwin Boyd, a WWII vet and family man turned bank robber. Dismayed by public indifference towards veterans and humiliated by his inability to fulfill his dream of being a Hollywood star or provide for family, Eddie is desperate and starts to rob banks. But what starts as friendly and flirtatious robberies, performed while wearing thick makeup, evolves over time into a career that leads him down a path of danger and tragedy. (Eagle Entertainment)

When I was watching this movie, I somehow came to the opinion that Canada can take even a decent premise and sink it in the ash heap of history. Edwin Boyd: Citizen Gangster could have been an interesting movie, Max Richter made the perfect background music for it and the actors weren’t that bad, but it’s just boring. The filmmaking is awful and at times, it’s impossible to watch. Despite the fact that the premise wasn’t bad at all. But that’s not the first time I’ve seen that when it comes to Canada.
