Worst Cops EVER

Right from the very opening where they are looking for the prisoner. They search around the clump of bushes. Obviously the prisoner was not anywhere in the open plains, the bushes is EXACTLY where they should have been searching.
and when the cop was having a leak, first off, you don't completely undo your pants to pee. Secondly, In a situation like that, you always work in teams of at least 2. One provides cover while the other relieves himself.
Finally, the one cop was shot in the abdomen, certainly a painful spot, but not immediately fatal. The other one got hit with the butt of the shotgun. Why did the police later on say both were shot?. All this was in the first 3 minutes. Someone fire the continuity director, and learn a few things about REAL police procedures, heck even REAL search procedures.
I am usually pretty forgiving of a lot of minor errors, but right from the start, this film downright insults the viewer and makes idiots out for the cops.

Agreed with all you wrote. I don't know if you're from Canada, but all the hand guns were crazy for Saskatchewan, the film made it seem like the wild west.

Either the film makers wanted to market this as a generic location with generic police so it would play better in the US, or, they were afraid to piss of the RCMP (not a good idea to piss them off). I can't decide why the cops were 'generic' police rather than RCMP. Strange and rang untrue.
