    Prison life of convicted felon waiting for a chance at freedom

    This movie had me interested the whole way through. Loved the lead, Nathan Wilson, and the main supporting actor, Martin Sacks. Nathan playing the role of an innocent, but convicted rapist serving his time and Martin a hard core life-long criminal, form an incredibly close relationship.

    If you don't want any mention of God in your movies, skip this one. It's not the underlying theme of the movie, but it does play a role in the personalities of some of the characters.

    All the girls will love Nathan. But it's Martin I'd like to see more of in the future. Great character actor, I could see him in a variety of roles.

    Rise keeps a steady pace throughout. Based on a true story, this drama is definitely worth a look.

    Treacly but watchable

    If you're in the mood for a sentimental, feel-good prison movie, then this fits the bill. Engaging acting and professional production make this a watchable movie.

    An exceptional Aussie Film

    Based on an amazing true story, the film Rise does not disappoint. Iloved this movie and left the cinema with an extraordinary feeling of hope and peace.

    A film that will make any Aussie proud to claim it.

    A young man is living life in all the wrong ways and finds himself in a precarious situation. The film is his story of renewal and redemption.

    A thought provoking movie for teenagers and adults alike. I have recommended it to all my friends and family.

    I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Spare a thought for the man and his family in the story. It was a long hard journey to live the story then make the film.

    An unnecessary ordeal!

    The shocking true story of a man falsely accused of convicted of rape, having to deal with a crime he did not commit, the prison systems and some pretty hardened criminals.

    Down to earth, one man's story, to find justice and peace.

    Great

    Not bad for a film certainly could use more drama and characters for a better script
