    For me there was a couple wild suspensions of disbelief that just didn’t work. Earning enough cash from an afternoon of playing randoms at chess in the park to afford a full on suite at a decent hotel downtown Toronto. And the police just letting them go, no license, no identification of any kind…

    I did really enjoy Toronto in general and thought the main plot was strong enough, but agree the romance was unnecessary and also think the dialogue needs some work.

      As a security officer, La’an is highly trained in social engineering, and Kirk is cunning on his own, as we see in how he zeroes in on the best car around and steals it with minimal physical harm to the owner. I’d say there’s a good chance they didn’t pay for the hotel room at all, but conned their way in on someone else’s credentials. Same deal for crossing the border twice.

      Not just the hotel, but enough to bribe two separate border officers to let them cross the border the day after a terrorist attack
