Re: actor Guillaume Canet comparison to Patrick Dempsey"???

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2006)

Maybe I have been hidden in a dark hole since this movie came out in 2000/01, but I have never heard of it or saw it until it came on the Bravo channel on television tonight. While I was watching it, I saw an actor who I thought was Patrick Dempsey. I asked my husband to come and see, but of course he has to look everything up on the internet, first of all to find out the name of the movie, then he tells me that it is not Patrick Dempsey it is a French actor named Guillaume Canet, playing the character of Etinne. I still believe the French actor, "Guillaume Canet" is Patrick Dempsey (alias Dr. McDreamy). If not, Canet must be Dempsey's long lost/adopted out/identical twin brother. As soon as I saw him on the screen, I thought, oh so this was Dempsey's acting gig between the 80's and the Lifetime mini-series "A Weekend in Pregatory", before his big break with Grey's Anatomy. I can't be the only person that thinks Canet & Dempsey are one in the same or at least his identical twin brother!!! Once I saw this, it was hard for me to get into the movie except for some of Leo's "Richard's" scenes, especially the scene where Richard is having his nervous break down and actually sees three American tourist murdered in the marijuana field and then he starts running for his own life, which brought him somewhat semi-back as much as possible, to reality afterwards. If you agree, about the Dempsey/Canet theory let me know, even if I am five or six years late!!!
