Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

rgcustomer This film is chock full o' cliché.You have the black teen robber, the young female whore, the businessman with a secret, the white boy wannabe thug. It never ends.Once Murray is chased up a tree by the robbers, it's scripted and shot pretty much like a stage play, with each side patiently waiting turn to say its oh-so-clever piece.There is no realism, and no tension. Not one of these characters feels real, and so we don't really care what happens to any of them in the end. Frankly, the Ravens should have been allowed to clean up. I mean, they walk right past with a severed head (what was that all about?) and you're NOT going to use them? But of course, in the end, you have the injured angel, the weeping whore, the coward runs away, etc. etc. Lessons learned. Mission accomplished. Yawn.And, of course, the credits say it was funded by pretty much every Canadian funding agency in existence. I can't even remember them all. Canada, Ontario, Television, Film, various channels (even beyond the usual), and so on. For all that, we deserve better.

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.

TheVid Unenlightening social observations mar what's essentially an emotionally-driven confrontation film. As it is, there's too much pandering to typical urban stereotypes and cheesy melodrama instead of simply a raw struggle for survival. Engaging enough, but way too practical when it should have been primitive.

timberck This is a good film! Good, solid performances. A clever idea that is well carried out. The images were rather bland, but that is really the only down-side. Good solid screenwriting for a change, too. One of the best of this year's Genie crop. Definitely worth seeing.
