One Week

What would you do, if you had one day, one week, or one month to live?

This was the question asked by Director Michael McGowan through the movie One Week. Although this movie did not seem to get many popular reviews, I found this to be yet another fascinating movie on a number of levels.

Firstly, it was nice to see a Canadian movie, based around Canada. Being able to see the different landmarks and -gasp- the Stanley Cup, the beautiful landscapes and the flourishing wilderness. This alone was enough to sell me on the film.

Then, what I consider to be secondary is the question which Ben Tyler - played by Joshua Jackson - is forced to ask himself. The question like many questions, brings about more questions such as "Am I content?" or "Is there anything else I need to do?".

Since Ben Tyler was keen about giving everything a rating out of 10, I suppose I shall do the same. This movie gets a 8/10 for me. I was going to say 7, but the whole Canadian thing just brings it up a notch.
