We get to experience the dedication of a public sector employee in this Canadian thriller film by Daryl Duke. Sure, Miles Cullen could’ve simply ignored the accidental piece of information that the bank he works for is going to get robbed.

Instead, he figures out who might be planning such a drastic move with Christmas around the corner and takes matters into his own hands. We get to see the battle of cunning and nerve between Miles Cullen and Harry Reikle over the money the former intentionally misplaced to protect the public interest.
