Plot Summary:
In the action-packed new thriller from writer/director Neil Marshall ("The Descent"), authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

I'm 22 years old, but I'm Canadian. Therefore I don't have a zipcode for them to check their government database to be sure I'm over 18. I guess I'll just have to go to youtube for redband content whilst I enjoy my better healthcare and the general awesomeness of not having the rest of the world hate my country.
Leave censorship to the parents, because like me, anyone who can't access redband content "officially" is just going to get it somewhere else on the net.
--Too bad the CUTE girl GETS IT in the END...;(
"Don't worry!" she said, trying to reassure. "We'll protect you!"
For some reason, this caused the Canadians to become even more depressed.
Another example comes from two years ago, when wanted murderers tried to get across the border into Canada. A local sheriff's deputy on the US side managed to ram their stolen car with his cruiser and stop them mere feet away from leaving the US, for which the Canadians should be extremely glad. You see, the Canadian border guards abandoned their posts when they heard gunfire!
Canada emerged from WWII with the 4th largest navy in the world. Now they are weak that they buy worn out submarines from the British that end up killing their own crew!
Canadians only seem to be proud of their country when insisting that they are not from the United States, a curious state of affairs when one considers that they ride along on our coattails. They rely on the US for their security, their trade, their technology. They even rely on us for their entertainment, as Moldy and bloau have proven by their posts here. Yet they still try their best to insist that there is something noble in complete reliance on others.
In closing, I would like to point out that the reason why most of the world hates America is because most of the rest of the world is infested with despotic, repressive regimes and the US is the only one trying to change that. That state of affairs invites the ire of those who like to preserve tyranny.
The reason why most of the rest of the world doesn't hate Canada is because they literally could beat the tar out of that pitiful country. That state of affairs invites nothing but contempt.
