vikte-sn When I read a synopsis of the movie before watching it, I was expecting it to be silly and light - I mean, a story about a guy ambushed in a tree by some kids can't be serious, can it? But it was nothing like I expected. This must be the cheapest thriller with the most mundane setting and characters in the history, but somehow it manages to provide with more adrenaline than most of the "guns and explosions" kind of movies. All the characters are both lovable and hatable, so you don't just root for a "good guy", you worry about all of them.I strongly recommend it even for those who don't really care for dramas and thrillers (I'm one of those people).

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.

mjs_chic I bought this movie because of Mr. Hewlett. I find him fascinating. The few people who had seen this movie warned me how "stupid" it was. I disagree. I don't know about other people out there, but this film hit home. I didn't see any villain or hero in this movie. I just saw people, normal people. Neither good or bad, just misdirected. Yes the kids chased him up a tree and kept him there for a night while they argued about what to do. Yes he did admit to getting it on with prostitutes and that he saw no problem with taking illegal narcotics. The scene where Kel gets him to admit how unfaithful he has been is brilliant. That's when he realizes he's just as "bad" as the kids who have him trapped in a tree. I recommend this movie for anyone who wants to see a movie about seeing who you really are thru the eyes of someone else.

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.
