Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

yfrank14-651-253140 and now for a review that was not written by the director's mother. If you feel like you have seen this movie before, you watched the movie "the game". I knew what was going to happen, because the game already did it. unfortunately, this movie is very bad and very unbelievable. the FBI agents are, maybe, 20 years old. the suspect escapes from a detention room with a paper clip and a rubber band. the FBI left a paper clip and a rubber band in the room. suspect escapes from the detention faculty by pulling a fire alarm. a person manages to film the suspect, including from an assassins car, and not be seen by the suspect. or the assassin. the suspect calls a radio show and says he is a hostage and they are heading to a bridge, and the FBI falls for it. the lead bad guy rigs a building with explosives before he knew his main plan would be thwarted and he would need the building to be rigged to explode. the lead bad guy orders his minion to handcuff the suspect to a pole. minion duct tapes his hands. suspect was duct taped so it would appear he shot the FBI agent and threw a girl off a roof and called the FBI. while his hands were duct taped. i cant tell you the ending, but lets just say the main character realizes he was used, set up, lied to. this is all confirmed by the person who set him up. and the main character never hits him. i think i can safely say any one of us would have beaten him with a chair.SPOILER ALERTthe whole thing was a TV show. everybody was watching. but the suspect never saw the show? his own mother did not tell him? he watched the news several times, listened to the radio, and never heard of ,or saw the show? no one that he ran by ever said "dude, you are on TV"?

erdabbs Coming from someone that will never be considered a "movie buff", this picture had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end! Getty remarkably portrays a character that gets much more than he bargained for when he desires to live his life through the twists and turns of a movie. I could really see the fear in Noah (Getty) as he suddenly becomes the subject of a nationwide manhunt, unsure of who he can trust or how to clear his name. With many twists and turns throughout, you will have no idea what to expect. Trust me when I say that when Getty eventually becomes a well known and respected name in the Hollywood community, this will be a movie that helped catapult him to his success. I personally cannot wait to see "Rising Fear", which I've heard to be Getty's next film!In short, watch this film and enjoy the ride. You will not be disappointed!!

JJMcJames A lot of the other reviewers (as of July 2013) are lying through their teeth about this being a quality, exciting, well acted or well directed film. Truth is that this film is an example of novice film making gone awry. Although the general idea for the plot is creative, the film's use of non-actors in major character roles, its novice level direction, along with its very poor editing make this film as one that is almost entirely impossible to get through without fast forwarding and skipping scenes altogether. But, the question I ask myself is whether it's the worst movie I've ever seen??? My honest answer is a solid, unequivocal Yes.Nevertheless, I do congratulate the kid who tried to pull this off simply for his courage to try to do so. However, I after shooting first scene or two I have to fault him for his time wasting foolishness for thinking that this film was going to turn out being anything but a complete and total failure.Any producer/director worth his salt would know when to fold up the production and patiently wait until the film could resume with competent actors and production staff. I'd assume that the kid who made this film was well aware shortly after filming began that it was going to be a failure but was too intimidated by the thought of having to tell his friends and family that he needed to replace them. It's a hard thing to tell a friend, who has put a lot of time and effort into helping you fulfill a dream, that their efforts diminish the value of the film's quality, but that's the price of the leadership role you have assumed in trying to make this movie.If I were the producer/director of this film and had any aspirations of making it in the film industry, the first thing I would do is to ensure that every copy is destroyed and pulled from the internet so that no one in the film business could ever see it in the future and form a derogatory opinion of me when considering me for film work. It's simply a shame that it's been registered on IMDb because it's now more difficult to hide it. This is not a film making effort to be proud of, but is instead one to take a hard look at evaluate the reasoning and causality behind its criticisms and simply learn from it. I'd also ask my friends and family who posted those overtly enthusiastic reviews to go back and correct them with what they really think of the film.

S Ross I have seen numerous expensive produced Hollywood movies that are crap compared to this modest collegiate production.When the audience gets beyond the non-Hollywood production, then they can focus on the story. A good idea explored to a logical end without the un-necessary backstory.The acting was good. Nothing took me out of movie.(For those who may argue wanting "realism" in their movies i.e. think the college actors were too young to play their roles, you seriously think that Daniel Craig looks like he could play a real James Bond? Or, better yet, you have no problem with actors in their 20s playing high- schoolers or middle school teens.)Two criticisms• Could have done without the love-interest subplot. The IM exchanges are acceptable and I follow their how necessary to the plot. The motivation to rescue the damsel in distress is an unclear cliché with which _I_ have a problem.• (Discussion of second point of criticism involves SPOILERS.)
