Wiki.

Crimes of Mike Recket is a Canadian crime drama film, written and directed by Bruce Sweeney and released in 2012. The film stars Nicholas Lea as Mike Recket, a real estate developer in Vancouver, British Columbia, whose bad business decisions have left him in deep debt; kicked out of the house by his wife Jasleen (Agam Darshi), he hits upon a scheme to revive his fortune by defrauding wealthy widow Leslie Klemper (Gabrielle Rose), only to become a criminal suspect when Leslie goes missing.The film's cast also includes Paul Skrudland, Jillian Fargey, Raphael Kepinski, Tom Scholte, John Cassini, Paul Anthony, Jeff Carter, Cam Cronin, Ryan MacDonald, Nancy Sivak and Alex Zahara.

Sweeney acknowledged that the film incorporated aspects of the film noir genre, although he stated that he had tried to subvert the genre, notably by avoiding the classic film noir trope of the femme fatale and introducing some moments of comedic levity.The film premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, although due to production delays it was still in post-production just days before its premiere.
