It’s been the local movie on everyone’s mind since it went to camera in the spring of 2010 and released in May 2011, a balls-out exploitation drama shot in Halifax and Dartmouth starring genre-god Rutger Hauer as the eponymous vagrant who deals death and justice in a town full of bad guys. Also starring Best Film/TV Actor Glen Matthews, along with Brian Downey and Molly Dunsworth, HWASG won’t ever be referenced in any Tourism Nova Scotia ads, but having blown away audiences internationally, it’s a picture we can be proud of.
