Due South

About This Movie

So, 'Due South' is quite an interesting piece, right? It's this blend of comedy and crime, and you can really see the roots of the TV series it spawned. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which adds to its charm, I think. It centers around Constable Benton Fraser, who’s got this distinct Canadian Mountie vibe—very earnest, very principled. The atmosphere shifts between the rugged Canadian wilderness and the gritty streets of Chicago, which creates a unique backdrop for the story. You get this buddy-cop dynamic that unfolds nicely, and the performances—especially Fraser's portrayal—bring a certain warmth amid the darker themes of murder and justice. It’s not just about catching killers; it's about the cultural clashes and personal quests.
