Appropriately titled, "Get Down", because that is literally what the main character's assailants want him to do and what he is desperately trying his best not to do, once he lands up in a tree after defending himself in a botched robbery. While they're waiting each other out, there are moments when each character's own inner turmoils comes to light. I thought it was quite a different approach and a very interesting concept for a movie.

The best movie of 2001 by far. A little known Canadian jewel that will leave an impact on you long after the cathode flicker has faded. Superbly layer and texturing psychological thriller which pits a gang of urban thug against a tree-bound wing-tipped marketing executive. It become of war of endurance as wit and psychology pit against each other in a battle of the Minds.

I happen to see this movie quite by accident, and am glad I did. Its not an action movie, or comedy, although there are some funny parts. There are some serious issues in this movie, and the best part, like real life everything does not get resolved at the end of the movie. It leaves you thinking and pondering both how you would have handled this situation, but it also opens your eyes to look past yourself. Murray learns a lot, about himself and about a group of youth, one guy in particular. The youth learn something as well. Lessons are learned at a great cost. A good movie to watch if you work with young people.

A WEALTHY WHITE MAN WALKS ONTO A GANG'S TURF. WHEN HE PREVENTS ONE OF THE GANG MEMBERS FROM ROBBING HIM, THE WHOLE GANG TRYS TO GET VENGEANCE ON HIM. TRAPPED IN THE WOODS, HE MUST FIGHT TO ESCAPE THE GANG. THE REAL SUPRISING THING IS THAT MUCH OF THE GANG IS ACTUALLY WHITE. THERE'S ONLY TWO BLACK MEMBERS. ANYWAY, THIS MOVIE IS ACTUALLY PRETTY GOOD DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT MOVES AT A CONSIDERABLY SLOW PACE. THOUGH THE COVER FOR THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE A GANGSTA MOVIE, IT'S FAR FROM BEING ONE. IF YOU'RE JUST LOOKING FOR A GANGSTA MOVIE THAT HAS A LOT OF SHOOTING AND KILLING, THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A MOVIE YOU WANNA RENT. HOWEVER, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A MOVIE THAT HAS A SIMPLISTIC PLOT, THEN I'D SUGGEST YOU GET TO YOUR LOCAL VIDEOSTORE AND RENT THIS.
