"Kim" branches out

[Anthony Buckland]

Elisha Cuthbert, who as Kim took out one of the
terrorists attacking her in an airport last season
and showed remarkable courage in other ways,
appeared last night and the night before in the
miniseries "Guns" on CBC (Canada).

SPOILER ALERT!

As a girlfriend helping out her gunrunning Mr.
Big's son boyfriend by organizing a run of mules
carrying shipments to Canada, she fared fairly
well until Canada Customs chased her down
on a freeway North of the border and amassed
guns from all the imaginable hiding places in
her car (note: if you're in charge of the mules,
don't be as stupid as them and carry yourself),
and really badly when Mr. Big decided she knew
too much and needed to be permanently persuaded
not to talk.

She showed some Kimlike spunk by knocking
out the assassin with a tire iron when she was
ordered into a trunk, but then ran instead of
hitting him again until her arm got tired. A bullet
through each lung turned her into the final tragic
sacrifice of the show. Unless you count the death
of the assassin as the end of a tragic life.

Colm Feore was marvellously menacing as Mr. Big,
a step up IMHO from the First Gentleman of
Season 7.

WOW! That's pretty cool. I agree with the whup 'em instead argument.
Oh well!
