Wyeth Clarkson's The Mountie will come out in select theatres in Canada on July 1, which happens to be Canada Day.

The story takes place in Whitehorse, Yukon, during the 1894.

According to the film's Facebook page, this is the story:

A lone Mountie has come to town to clean up the crime and corruption after finding an innocent man dead. As he sets up home, in town, he discovers endless amounts of illegal activity taking place behind closed doors. Once he uncovers the men behind the crimes he prepares to take them down one by one in the most vicious showdown this town has ever seen.

The film stars Andrew Walker, Jessica Pare, John Wildman, George Buza, Earl Pastko and Tony Munch.

What better way to celebrate Canada Day than with the release of a movie about life in the Canadian outback before the turn of the century and The Mountie looks like a low-key western (it's a far cry from Paul Gross. Gunless) capable of doing just that.

Co-written and directed by Wyeth Clarkson, he made a bit of a splash with 2006's Sk8 Life, the film stars Andrew W. Walker as Wade Grayling, a lone Mountie who has rolled into a town in the Yukon Territory to clean up the crime and corruption brewing behind closed doors (or in this case, inside tents). The movie also stars the talented Jessica Paré who some may recognize from her recent role on TV.s "Mad Men."

I'm not a huge fan of the title (I prefer the film's original title of Way of the West) but the trailer looks promising. It's adequately...
