... the stunts are horrible compared with nowadays standards ... you can see that the stuntmen look so different from the original cast but besides that it's brilliant!!
I loved the interaction between Ray and Benton ... truely great acting all through the film and it was well deserved that a whole series was launched after the success of this tv film. Another nice feature of the film is that it sets the stage for the whole coming series. The characters of Benton Fraser and Ray are well introduced and believeable - you can easily related to them. The difference between Canada and Chicago is also a great treat for the audience ... I love the Canadian landscape and also the Canadian style. Thank you for this great start into the series ... I will come back for more.
PS. I've only seen the pilot film today and haven't seen the whole series but I'm really looking forward to it.moreless

Ray Vecchio (about Diefenbaker); He reads lips? Benton Fraser: I've never been sure. If so, he's self-taught.

Gerard: What was the biggest city you ever worked in? Benton Fraser: Moosejaw. Gerard: Yeah, and you were transferred out after five weeks because you couldn't adapt to such an urban life style. You're like your father. Out there in no man's land, there isn't a better cop in the world. But in Chicago, they'd eat you alive in a minute. Sorry.
