The last time I saw any crime movie involving Montreal was Die Hart 2, where the bad guys take their gold to Montreal across the border from the U. S. I have been to Montreal in winter but I never knew that winters in Montreal could be so dreary. Streets are empty. Everything is covered with snow. People look cold. It would be depressing to live in Montreal. Why would anyone want to join organized crime in Montreal? Mafias in NY or LA at least have some panache. But a Mafia in Montreal doesn't have the same look. The only thing going for the godfather is his ring with which he taps tables. The Italian-American community protested the production of Godfather 1. I never heard that the Italian-Canadian community protested the making of this movie -- perhaps because they weren't interested in the subject matter. The public isn't interested in the subject matter. So why should the Italian-Canadians be?
