I liked this movie because it is so refreshingly different from the typical Hollywood formula. The lead actor, David La Haye was incredible. How did he not win the Genie award for Best Actor? This film had a good mix of humour and drama. However, I thought that the plot and characterization could have been a bit tighter. Also, it's hard to be absorbed into a movie when you don't like any of the characters. However, it was a great study of the contradicting actions that people exhibit everyday. The main characters are multidimensional (almost too much so), and that is what makes the film so interesting. The visual style is also compelling, with a lot of underwater shots. I recommend this film for people who are intelligent, serious, and do not need explosions, and gratuitous sex to be excited. No Hollywood b.s. here. The director was the cinematographer on "Maelström" (2000), which is similar to "Crabe", however much better, in my opinion.
