Misleading: Not based on a true story in Canada, but Europe
30 August 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This was a good movie, but when I went to research the case, I was disappointed to learn that it didn't happen. I quote "Inspired by an event that happened in Europe, the script keeps story surprises coming." (cinemawithoutborders.com/reviews/2753-a-kiss-and-a-promise.html).

The police in the movie are crooked, and being from Toronto, Ontario, we have more than two detectives everywhere in the GTA. If an American were watching this, they would think our police are as backwards as maybe some cops in the EU or Mexico.

One person would never be able to remove evidence without it showing up in a forensic photograph. These were two of the dumbest detectives I had ever seen in my life. They made a mockery of policing in America. They would have been better off filming it in a small town in the U.S. where they have sheriffs, not detectives. DNA didn't exist for them, but mobile phones did. They didn't think that the reason the girls fingers were cut off was because she scratched him. Completely ludicrous.

Also, I have never seen the TTC subway train moving without a single person on board. Most of the time, there are no seats on the TTC, and people have to stand until they arrive at their destination. It's a very unrealistic portrayal of the TTC, life in the GTA.
