christella watched this to see other work David hewlett had done. i was blown away by this movie. that man can really act! wonderful simple premise well executed,brilliantly directed,excellent ensemble cast. David hewlett and cle bennett shine as the main protagonists,a movie set in a tree with just an excellent script to hold your focus.rent or even buy this movie and you will watch it more than once.the ending was not too much of a surprise,and would have liked more of around up at the end,but that is just personal preferencewatching David as murray,play the gang off one another is brilliantly done,and finding out that murray is just as flawed as they are is superb.

sweepsupplies I bought this movie because I wanted to watch more movies with David Hewlett. I have to say he is really good in this film. He makes his Murray a believable person with faults and good points. At first I couldn't see how he could win against the gang( he is in a tree for most of the film, trapped) but he is a good talker and that is a real advantage and at times he sticks his foot is his mouth big time. The rest of the actors are good and believable. Only thing is that all of the main people are not who you think they are. Funny how we all think we can tell who everybody is just by meeting them. This movie proves this to not be the case. The acting in this low budget film is great and the story line is not new just not over done.

ecktownnfg I never really felt the need to post a review on here because who am I to say what a good movie is? However, I was appalled when I saw that this movie got an 8/10. Yes, Rear Window was set in one scene and was a great thriller. This movie was set in one scene and was not nearly as affective as Rear Window. Not debatable. Furthermore, this movie is ranked as high as The Graduate, higher than Forrest Gump and Sling Blade. That is simply inexcusable. This movie was lame because there was so many fallacies. My first question is why didn't the guy pee on the gang? That would have added some action to the movie! But seriously, he gets down and he walks towards the kid instead of running away when the kid obviously wasn't going to do anything. He didn't grab the bat...or anything. It was like okay maybe he wanted to save the kid, but then he rats him out anyhow. Furthermore, what kind of cop believes that cheer the gang was doing, like doesnt even check it out at all? PFFFFT...It's just like come on...get real. This movie=The Graduate is a bigger joke than this cinematography debacle! My favorite part (other than the fact that it was over) was when the "gang" first came out. It was so funny that it was a racially and sexually diverse gang. It was just like Wow, I hope this isn't a sign of what's coming. The kids were so NOT TOUGH. They deserve to get jumped for being in this movie."8 mile meets Juice"-What a laugh. Please do yourself a favor and do not waste your money on this. It's not half as good as what people are posting.

heydere2 Saw a special "Genie" (Canadian Oscar) screening this past Sunday evening. I had heard nothing but good things about this film, so i decided to attend. I was blown away. Amazing acting (THE WHOLE CAST!-which is rare these days), great direction, and the best thing of all is that it basically takes place all in one location, and does not come of as "theater" at all. I loved it, highly recommend it.
