Emulation

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!!

Saw this one at the Barebones International Film Festival in Oklahoma and have to say the director did a good job doing a throwback to 90s conspiracy thrillers like The Game and Total Recall. I'm eager to see what comes next from him.

Lots of interesting twists and turns. As a whole it was very tightly constructed, not a slow moment throughout. Also makes great use of locations in Pittsburgh.

Very entertaining. Tom Getty displays incredible potential and has action scene smarts. Despite budgetary restrictions, the set pieces were still incredibly impressive

This movie was complete drivel from the week plot, terrible acting and schizophrenic directing. Quite frankly I am surprised that it has a high rating though assume the people who made this blackmailed their family and friends to give it a good rating. Do yourself a favour and watch anything made by kids in your local neighborhood with a cell phone as it is likely to be more interesting than this movie.

A note to the writers of this movie: Just because you have an idea for a story it does not mean that it should be made into a movie. Maybe run your ideas past someone not related to you first so that they can tell you to head back to the drawing board.

This is the second movie I've watched from writer/director/actor/producer Tom Getty and while there are major consistent continuity problems, due to weather and clips from other videos he borrowed stock footage from, and yes - there are also some flaws in the story and plot, it still is a solid film.

Done on a super small budget - over a period of several years - I find this top notch.

As far as I'm concerned, if the minor flaws were not there and the entire cameras being all over the place idea actually made a little more sense with the way it was shot, then I would probably rate it a 10.

As far as I'm concerned, with a bigger budget and better editing and maybe another writer on hand to really go over some of the ideas, this would be a winner in the entire production - those few things saddly brought this production down - but that's not a bad thing.

His genius to create, direct, film and produce and market his scripts to completion is just remarkable - and that is something that thousands of directors and producers can not do half as good with a budget over over $60 million dollars.

Even with the problems which arose, it still kept me invest in watching to the end without wanting to turn it off - and many many many other film don't do that.

When I realize that the amount of effort it takes to complete this all, those few problems are nothing that I can't overlook.

This and America Has Fallen is just amazing - deemed his budgets are really under $8000.

That is some crafty work and more film makers should take a lesson from this guy, because this is top-notch work as far as I'm concerned.

Problems aside, I wish this guy plenty of prosperity with making his films in the coming years, because it just shows how talented he is and how he can do things like this - while Tom Cruise and George Clooney require hundreds of millions of dollars to make something that doesn't stand up to this at all, not keep me interested.

No, I don't know the writer or director in any capacity - nor am I a co-worker or student at his school, but after seeing his stuff - I would certainly love to meet and work with him - because he shows the skills that so many other film makers have either never picked up on, or have forgotten of they ever did know it.

Awesome work guys.

Looking forward to your upcoming work...hopefully you will have a bigger budget to work with, because I would love to see what kind of magic you can do with it.

After watching this movie, I couldn't believe it was made by a college student. Each scene was a well-crafted display of the director's vision. This film is the culmination of high-quality cinematography, editing, music, and special effects. To say that this is a well-thought out and well-executed film is an understatement. It is the product of a future star.

The most impressive part of this movie is that Thomas Getty started with a vision and turned it into a final product that displays his skill and creativity while providing entertainment value. Not many people are capable of matching that feat.
