      [Dominic Da Vinci has been urged by many, including his aide Sam Berger, to run for Premier. Berger has previously mentioned to him that to do so he needs a squeaky clean background.]

      Mayor Dominic Da Vinci: I think we have to have that talk about skeletons in my closet. I got a couple need burying.

      Sam Berger: I got a good shovel.

      Mayor Dominic Da Vinci: Oh, you might need a backhoe.

    This is a good movie

    I was pleasantly surprised with this movie.

    I'm quite leery of many Canadian movies and I tend to find that if a Canadian movie is rated as a 7, then I would rate it as a 5 - in other words, I notice that most Canadian movies seem to be rated 1 or two stars above where I would rate them - but this movie was good.

    The first 5 or 10 minutes of the movie were a little slow, but if you can hang in there with it until after that the story becomes interesting enough to grab your attention.

    And da Vinci plays his usual self. Low key, but intense.

    If you liked his TV series then you might even like this movie better.
