So why, when we are lost in Canada, in the middle of nowhere, and there's, like twenty guys from the Canadian Search and Rescue team out there, is the search being headed up by an agent from teh US Forest Service?
Did I miss something?
When did you see the U.S. Forest Service agent? I missed him/her, unless that was the woman who drove into the woods with Daniel Roebuck's character and the two random "search" guys.
The FBI agent just entered the picture (1 hour, 12 minutes in).
Though it is dark . . . know your flag . . . is still there.
I know, crazy huh?
my guess is just based on what I know of Canadian films because I have a friend whose a Canadian director and producer. the following is my best guess.
They always include American references so that they might get American distribution. If you've ever seen the tv show Sue Thomas F.B.I. you get the idea. Its all shot in Toronto with Canadian actors, but in order to get distributed in the U.S. they up their chances by making everything American. Why they think Americans need to be placated to is beyond me, but that's what they do. They are finally coming around and making Canadian films with Canadian themes, and Americans like it just the same.
Its all for money really.

If that's the case, then why not have the plane crash in Alaska and eliminate the Canadian aspect completely.
You really know its low budget when a movie set in the Yukon has search and rescue vehicles with Manitoba license plates, 2,000 miles away.
