I believe the film was set in Winnipeg but I haven't seen it.

Winnipeg has a wonderfully intact Exchange District, full of historical buildings from around the turn of the century. There are several streets where, were it not for the cars, parking meters, and street lights, you would not know that it that it is not 1890. The city has done an excellent job of preserving this area of the city. As a result, it tends to draw film crews like flies to poop and there is always some movie or other being filmed, blocking streets and generally disrupting life as we would prefer to have it. "Hollywood of the North", that's us.

Google "movies made in Winnipeg Manitoba" for a surprisingly long list of major films made here.

You've got to see the movie that I mentioned. It's pretty unique.
